Kitchen extract cleaning in Shootash, done properly
Across Shootash, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Shootash, you get one team and one number for every site.
Most kitchens in Shootash fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Shootash starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Shootash
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Shootash. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Shootash falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shootash. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Historic houses near Shootash, such as Mottisfont Abbey about 3 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 2.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Shootash, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What a clean will not put right
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Shootash.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What affects the quote in Shootash
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Questions from Shootash
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shootash?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Shootash. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can the work in Shootash be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Shootash keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
