Kitchen duct cleaning in Old Netley
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Old Netley, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy or filters and stale cooking odours from the system, across discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Old Netley? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Old Netley.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site 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.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Old Netley
The coast is only about 2 miles from Old Netley. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 13 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Old Netley, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Netley. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Coldeast is the nearest hospital to Old Netley, about 2.3 miles south-east. Historic houses near Old Netley, such as Medieval Merchant's House about 3.5 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
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.
Old Netley questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Old Netley?
Food hygiene inspections in Old Netley are carried out by Eastleigh council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Old Netley?
It can. Salt air reaches Old Netley, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.

What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. A fault that closes a site in a village like Old Netley affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Common problems we fix in Old Netley
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Fat running down the canopy edge
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul’s Church or elsewhere in Old Netley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
