Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Mapledurwell
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. We are often asked to deal with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease smells coming from the extract, on extract fans, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Mapledurwell, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
A clean in Mapledurwell covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Mapledurwell 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 are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Mapledurwell
Will you come out to Mapledurwell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Mapledurwell?
Mapledurwell is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in Mapledurwell can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. In a place like Mapledurwell, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere as small as Mapledurwell, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Mapledurwell
Look up Mapledurwell on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mapledurwell. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Food hygiene inspections in Mapledurwell are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Mapledurwell. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 4.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Mary, or anywhere in Mapledurwell, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

When to call us in Mapledurwell
A kitchen in Mapledurwell builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4.4 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
