Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ringwood
Any kitchen we clean in Ringwood gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ringwood, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Ringwood gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Ringwood as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Around Ringwood, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
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 unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Ringwood
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

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 the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Ringwood can usually be finished without a second trip.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
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’ve gone.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ringwood
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Ringwood
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ringwood. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Ringwood is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Ringwood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Leonard's Hospital about 3.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Trinity Congregational Church, or anywhere in Ringwood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions from Ringwood
Can you work in Ringwood outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ringwood?
In Ringwood, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
