Kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Pennington
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can help. Kitchens in Lower Pennington book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Lower Pennington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
FAQs for Lower Pennington
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Lower Pennington during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Lower Pennington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Pennington?
It can. Salt air reaches Lower Pennington, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Lower Pennington is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Lower Pennington
Lower Pennington lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in and around Lower Pennington, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Lower Pennington sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

What affects the quote in Lower Pennington
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
