About our kitchen extract cleaning in Setley
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are grease smells coming from the extract and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Most calls from Setley come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
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.
In a village or hamlet like Setley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Setley before we set off.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Setley
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in Setley can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What else we do in Setley
Kitchen extract cleaning in Setley: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Setley, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Setley. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Setley get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For kitchens close to Brockenhurst station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Setley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

FAQs for Setley
Which environmental health team covers Setley?
Kitchens in Setley are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work in villages like Setley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Setley included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: 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 phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
