FAQs for Shirrell Heath
Which fire service covers Shirrell Heath?
Shirrell Heath is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who inspects food businesses in Shirrell Heath?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shirrell Heath. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Do you work in Shirrell Heath?
Yes. We cover Shirrell Heath and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
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. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Shirrell Heath
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can help, from canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Shirrell Heath typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Shirrell Heath covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Shirrell Heath, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Shirrell Heath.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system

Related advice
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Shirrell Heath?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John, or anywhere in Shirrell Heath, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Shirrell Heath is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
