Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Picket Twenty
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Picket Twenty covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Picket Twenty: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Picket Twenty, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers

- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
The process
On the day, we arrive 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. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Picket Twenty before we set off.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.

Common problems we fix in Picket Twenty
A kitchen in Picket Twenty builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 1.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and photos are included
