Grease, kitchens and Newnham
There are about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Newnham, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Fire safety in Newnham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Newnham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Nicholas, or anywhere in Newnham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4.6 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 5.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Newnham
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and people most often call us about a system with no record of a TR19 clean and grease smells coming from the extract. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Newnham it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in Newnham covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Newnham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What else we do in Newnham
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Newnham is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Newnham businesses choose us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Every job surveyed first
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. 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. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Newnham
Can the work in Newnham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Newnham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Newnham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Newnham?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Newnham before we set off.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
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 work begins.
Advice
Part by part
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.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
