How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Pinewood Village
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can help. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A clean in Pinewood Village covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Pinewood Village gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Pinewood Village can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. 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.
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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Tell us when your site near Pinewood Village is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- 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.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
More services for Pinewood Village
What we’re called out for in Pinewood Village
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 1.1 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that is holed or coming apart

Pinewood Village: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Pinewood Village?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Pinewood Village. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Pinewood Village in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Pinewood Village, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Pinewood Village kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Pinewood Village. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Pinewood Village. 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 Pinewood Village are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bordon Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark's Sacred Church or elsewhere in Pinewood Village, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
