TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Northney
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. 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. Common call-outs are for a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Northney, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Northney, 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, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Questions from Northney
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Northney?
Food hygiene inspections in Northney are carried out by Havant council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Northney?
It can, as Northney is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How long will the clean take?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Northney kitchens: local notes
Northney is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. There are about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Northney and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Environmental health officers from Havant council inspect food businesses in Northney. 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 2.1 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Northney, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Warblington School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Northney is about 3 miles south-east of Havant, in Hampshire. Sites in Northney get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Why it’s worth doing now in Northney
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It’s simpler to plan the work at Northney now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
What happens on the day
We are 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 one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Northney can be planned properly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
