About our kitchen extract cleaning in North Street
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in North Street give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Common call-outs are for an extract that no longer clears the smoke and fat running down the canopy edge, across plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in North Street covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in North Street covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like North Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What we’re called out for in North Street
In North Street, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease smells coming from the extract
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 3.9 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What hours they’ll be on site
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in North Street
It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in North Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for North Street is 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in North Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like North Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What affects the quote in North Street
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Do you cover North Street?

Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why act early in North Street
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. With notice, the visit to North Street can be fitted around your bookings and events.
