Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Timsbury
Kitchen extract cleaning in Timsbury from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Timsbury
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you’re dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Timsbury starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Timsbury
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Timsbury. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Timsbury. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Timsbury. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Timsbury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 2.6 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Timsbury is about 3 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. From the centre of Timsbury to the outskirts, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Timsbury: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Timsbury?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Timsbury doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Timsbury?
The local authority for Timsbury is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Timsbury knowing what to expect.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Timsbury?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Historic houses near Timsbury, such as Mottisfont Abbey about 1.6 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Why act early in Timsbury
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

More services for Timsbury
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
