Kitchen extract cleaning in Park Gate, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Common call-outs are for a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, across plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a village or hamlet like Park Gate, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.

Questions from Park Gate
Who is the fire and rescue service for Park Gate?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Park Gate. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Park Gate be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Park Gate. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
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 necessary.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Park Gate
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. In a small place like Park Gate, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Park Gate?
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. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
School kitchens, at schools like Park Gate Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Park Gate
Park Gate lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s data shows about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Park Gate. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Park Gate is 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.
Commuter trade near Swanwick station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Margaret Mary, or anywhere in Park Gate, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
