TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Purbrook Heath
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. 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 canopies and hoods, extract fans and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. Kitchens in Purbrook Heath 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.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Purbrook Heath goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Purbrook Heath?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
For schools such as Purbrook Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
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. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fault that closes a site in a village like Purbrook Heath affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Purbrook Heath
The coast is only about 2 miles from Purbrook Heath. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 39 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 32 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Purbrook Heath. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Purbrook Heath are the job of Havant council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Purbrook Heath is Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 1.3 miles south-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John or elsewhere in Purbrook Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Landmarks near Purbrook Heath
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to George Inn and Purbrook Park School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Cosham station, roughly 1.9 miles south. A little further out are Queen Alexandra Hospital (1.3 miles south-west) and Portchester Castle (3.4 miles south-west). The countryside around Purbrook Heath includes Southmoor Nature Reserve and Portsdown Hill.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Purbrook Heath, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Purbrook Heath
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Purbrook Heath?
It can. Purbrook Heath is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Purbrook Heath?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Purbrook Heath. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
