TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Stanswood
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Stanswood, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stanswood
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Stanswood, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a kitchen in or near Stanswood, 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Stanswood
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Osborne House, about 4.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Stanswood; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Kitchen extracts in Stanswood
Stanswood lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Stanswood. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Stanswood sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stanswood is Coldeast, about 5.4 miles north-east. Church and community hall kitchens, near St George or anywhere around Stanswood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere as small as Stanswood, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- 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.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What staff can safely do
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
FAQs for Stanswood
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Stanswood?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Stanswood than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stanswood?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stanswood. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
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.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stanswood
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 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. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
