Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Perham Down
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Perham Down give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are fat running down the canopy edge and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. Most calls from Perham Down come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Most kitchens in Perham Down fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near Perham Down, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Perham Down questions
Who inspects food businesses in Perham Down?
Food hygiene inspections in Perham Down are carried out by Test Valley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work in Perham Down be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Perham Down keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
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. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
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 also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Perham Down and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Common problems we fix in Perham Down
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Wellington Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Part by part
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.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
