Kitchen extraction cleaning in North Waltham
Need kitchen extract cleaning in North Waltham? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. 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.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in North Waltham
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can put it right, from vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs onwards. Kitchens in North Waltham book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a village or hamlet like North Waltham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.

Managing agents and facilities teams in North Waltham
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to North Waltham can be planned properly.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Grease, kitchens and North Waltham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across North Waltham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers North Waltham. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in North Waltham. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 5.6 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in North Waltham?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Michael's, or anywhere in North Waltham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in North Waltham
Do you work overnight in North Waltham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in North Waltham?
The local authority for North Waltham is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
