TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Picket Piece
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Picket Piece: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a smaller kitchen near Picket Piece, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.

What else we do in Picket Piece
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Picket Piece when you book.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
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.
Picket Piece kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs across Picket Piece and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Picket Piece get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Picket Piece 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Picket Piece questions
Is Picket Piece within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Picket Piece?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Picket Piece. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Picket Piece
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Picket Piece, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Picket Piece, about 2.4 miles west.
