What a clean will not put right

- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)

Kitchen extract cleaning in Sparsholt
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Sparsholt give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We are often asked to deal with fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a small place like Sparsholt, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Sparsholt
Who inspects food businesses in Sparsholt?
Kitchens in Sparsholt are inspected by Winchester City 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.
Will you come out to Sparsholt?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
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.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Somewhere like Sparsholt, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Common problems we fix in Sparsholt
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Sparsholt, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Where a hall near Church of St Stephen, or anywhere in Sparsholt, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Grease, kitchens and Sparsholt
The fire and rescue service for Sparsholt is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
