Kitchen extraction cleaning in Rudmore
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Rudmore? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Stale cooking odours from the system
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Rudmore
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you have an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Rudmore, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Portsmouth.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a smaller kitchen near Rudmore, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The report is your 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, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
Common problems we fix in Rudmore
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
What we are most often called out for:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
A hospital like Royal Portsmouth Hospital, about 0.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What records you will receive afterwards
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
What happens if it’s left?
If your kitchen in Rudmore is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. A planned visit to Rudmore fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

Common questions in Rudmore
Is Rudmore within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Rudmore is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Rudmore?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Rudmore than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a smaller place like Rudmore, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
