Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Penton Corner
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Penton Corner? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
What happens if it’s left?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- We’re fully insured
- In business since 2009

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Penton Corner
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you are dealing with rancid smells from grease in the duct and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Penton Corner: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Penton Corner, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Penton Corner kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars across Penton Corner and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Penton Corner is 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. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Penton Corner. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Penton Corner is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.5 miles east. Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Penton Corner, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
Common problems we fix in Penton Corner
A kitchen in Penton Corner builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Portway Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What insurance they carry
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. For a village or hamlet like Penton Corner, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
