How the visit works

On site, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Portsmouth Point.

- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Portsmouth Point
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Kitchens in Portsmouth Point book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Around a smaller place like Portsmouth Point, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Why act early in Portsmouth Point
Any food business in Portsmouth Point 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. A planned visit to Portsmouth Point fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Portsmouth Point
Portsmouth Point lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 95 pubs and bars and about 24 hotels and B&Bs in and around Portsmouth Point, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Portsmouth Point get their food hygiene inspections from Portsmouth council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Commuter trade near Portsmouth Harbour station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Portsmouth Point
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Portsmouth Point?
That is Portsmouth council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Portsmouth Point. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Portsmouth Point within the area you cover?
Yes. Portsmouth Point is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How long will the clean take?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
