The Mint kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in The Mint, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to The Mint.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
About our kitchen extract cleaning in The Mint
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. We’re often asked to deal with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in The Mint, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as The Mint, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in The Mint
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Grease, kitchens and The Mint
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in The Mint and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in The Mint falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in The Mint are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Chase Community Hospital, about 3.9 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Liss Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Hope Church or elsewhere in The Mint, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
The Mint is about 4 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of The Mint or further out, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and The Mint is one of them. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, roughly 19 miles from The Mint.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Somewhere as small as The Mint, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in The Mint
Can you get to a site in The Mint?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, The Mint included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in The Mint be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
