Sleaford: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Sleaford?
Food hygiene inspections in Sleaford are carried out by East Hampshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Sleaford?
Yes. Sleaford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
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 look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Sleaford
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have grease drips onto cooking equipment and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can help. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Sleaford usually mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Somewhere as small as Sleaford, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Sleaford and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Grease, kitchens and Sleaford
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Sleaford, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Sleaford is 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. Kitchens in Sleaford get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Sleaford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Mill Chase Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Sleaford, about 2.1 miles south.
