Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Norton
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Norton?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Norton gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Norton?
Fire safety enforcement in Norton is handled by 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.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
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 are fully insured.
Is Norton in your area?
Yes. Norton is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Norton
Any kitchen we clean in Norton gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can put it right. Most calls from Norton come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
A clean in Norton covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Norton: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Norton. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Norton. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Norton sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near St. James' Church, or anywhere in Norton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Norton, about 4.8 miles north.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Norton
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Norton
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
School kitchens, at schools like Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Norton.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
