TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Rogate
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 film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Common call-outs are for a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and poor airflow at the canopy, on extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Kitchens in Rogate 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.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Rogate: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wash or exchange the filters often
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Rogate knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common questions in Rogate
Which environmental health team covers Rogate?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rogate. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Rogate?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Rogate is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Grease, kitchens and Rogate
We cover Rogate, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Rogate. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Rogate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 4 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Rogate CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
