TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Tinkers Cross
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and discharge points, and people most often call us about a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and grease smells coming from the extract. Most calls from Tinkers Cross come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like Tinkers Cross, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

Common problems we fix in Tinkers Cross
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Breamore House is about 2.2 miles north), access may need planning.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Tinkers Cross
Look up Tinkers Cross on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tinkers Cross. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Tinkers Cross is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Tinkers Cross, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Fordingbridge Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Tinkers Cross is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading

What affects the quote in Tinkers Cross
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
