Kitchen extraction cleaning in Shawford
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Shawford, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shawford
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on canopies and hoods, discharge points and vertical risers. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Shawford, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a kitchen in or near Shawford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Shawford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Shawford and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Questions from Shawford
Who inspects food businesses in Shawford?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shawford. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is Shawford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
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.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What affects the quote in Shawford
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we are called out for in Shawford
In Shawford, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Shawford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What insurance they carry
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Grease, kitchens and Shawford
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered in Shawford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Shawford is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Shawford are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. 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 Royal Hampshire County Hospital about 2.7 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
