About our kitchen extract cleaning in Lymington
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease smells coming from the extract, on vertical risers, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Lymington, you get one team and one number for every site.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Most kitchens in a town like Lymington cannot close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Lymington
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lymington?
Kitchens in Lymington are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can school kitchens in Lymington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lymington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Do you work in Lymington?
Yes. We cover Lymington and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Lymington?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Lymington?
In Lymington, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. Thomas the Apostle or elsewhere in Lymington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. In Lymington, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
