Kitchen extract cleaning in Oliver's Battery: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways in and around Oliver's Battery, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Oliver's Battery falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Oliver's Battery. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital about 1.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Mark's, or anywhere in Oliver's Battery, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Olivers Battery Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Oliver's Battery
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Oliver's Battery give you that record for the maintenance log. We’re often asked to deal with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and fat running down the canopy edge, on extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Oliver's Battery, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Oliver's Battery goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Oliver's Battery, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Oliver's Battery questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Oliver's Battery?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Oliver's Battery. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Oliver's Battery?
Yes, Oliver's Battery is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Oliver's Battery before we set off.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Oliver's Battery and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

What else we do in Oliver's Battery
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wash or exchange the filters often
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
