Kitchen duct cleaning in Tipner
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Tipner covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Tipner goes.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Tipner gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tipner
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 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. When a site near Tipner shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first

What affects the quote in Tipner
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
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 work begins.
Tipner: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Tipner?
Fire safety enforcement in Tipner is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in Tipner?
That is Portsmouth council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tipner. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Kitchen extracts in Tipner
Tipner is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 50 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Tipner and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Tipner is covered by 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.
Where a hall near St Saviour's Church, or anywhere in Tipner, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Portsmouth Hospital is the nearest hospital to Tipner, about 1.2 miles south.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
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. 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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Portsmouth. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Tipner.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

When to call us in Tipner
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.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Stamshaw Infant Academy or anywhere near Tipner, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
