TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Tiptoe
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Tiptoe start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Tiptoe goes.
Somewhere as small as Tiptoe, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Tiptoe
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
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 will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, 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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Tiptoe and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Other services in Tiptoe
Tiptoe kitchens: local notes
Tiptoe lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses across Tiptoe and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Tiptoe. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew or elsewhere in Tiptoe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Tiptoe Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 3.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

FAQs for Tiptoe
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tiptoe?
Fire safety enforcement in Tiptoe is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Tiptoe out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Tiptoe, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
