How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Petersfield, done properly
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Petersfield? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Kitchens in towns like Petersfield are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Where the duct cannot be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

What affects the quote in Petersfield
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Petersfield
Food Standards Agency records include about 16 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Petersfield. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Petersfield falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Petersfield are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Peter's Church or anywhere around Petersfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about within half a mile west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. An inspector or insurer will want to see recent records, so it makes sense to have them ready.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A closed day, an evening or an early start: whichever suits your site in Petersfield, we will book around it.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Petersfield
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Petersfield Infant School or anywhere near Petersfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
