Kitchen extract cleaning in Oakshott, Hampshire
Kitchen extract cleaning for Oakshott, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Oakshott
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. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. Kitchens in Oakshott 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.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Oakshott, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Oakshott: the local picture
Kitchens in Oakshott get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Oakshott is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Oakshott, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Related advice
Common questions in Oakshott
Which environmental health team covers Oakshott?
Kitchens in Oakshott are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Oakshott?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
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.
Part by part
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
What affects the quote in Oakshott
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Oakshott
In Oakshott, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 2.9 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
