Kitchen extract cleaning in Rockbourne, done properly
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Rockbourne, usually within one working day. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. When a restaurant in Rockbourne asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Rockbourne goes well beyond the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Rockbourne, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Rockbourne: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in Rockbourne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Rockbourne. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rockbourne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Western Downland Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Breamore House, about 2.4 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Rockbourne; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

When to call us in Rockbourne
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Salisbury District Hospital (about 6 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
What we do, step by step
We turn up 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 before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Rockbourne.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- 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.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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.
What else we do in Rockbourne
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Rockbourne
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Rockbourne?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Rockbourne. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work at weekends in Rockbourne?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Rockbourne keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we 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. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
