About our kitchen extract cleaning in Stoke
Any kitchen we clean in Stoke gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Stoke, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Stoke
Is Stoke within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stoke?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stoke. 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 does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Common problems we fix in Stoke
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- 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, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stoke: the local picture
Stoke is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Stoke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Stoke sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Warblington Castle, about 1.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Stoke; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Stoke, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Stoke.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Why deal with it now?

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
