Kitchen extract cleaning in Nursted, done properly
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have grease drips onto cooking equipment and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help, from extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers onwards. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Nursted? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Somewhere as small as Nursted, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Nursted?
In Nursted, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Uppark is about 2.5 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Nursted
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Nursted?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Nursted. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in Nursted?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Nursted. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Nursted are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring 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. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Why act early in Nursted
TR19® isn’t 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. Somewhere as small as Nursted, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
