Kitchen extract cleaning in Ower, Hampshire
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Ower. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ower
Across Ower, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. 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. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Ower it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in Ower covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Ower starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ower kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Ower, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. The fire and rescue service for Ower is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ower. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Landford Manor is about 4.6 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 1.1 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Ower is about 2 miles north-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Across the SO51 area, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Ower is one of them. There’s also a page for Southampton, roughly 7 miles from Ower.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Ower
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ower?
The local authority for Ower is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Ower?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ower
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work

What else we do in Ower
Why act early in Ower
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A planned visit to Ower is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Every visit written up, with pictures

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Ower before we set off.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
