Kitchen extract cleaning near Titchfield

Common questions in Titchfield

Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Titchfield?

It can, as Titchfield is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Titchfield during the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Titchfield. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.

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.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?

It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Titchfield

Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on canopies and hoods, discharge points and vertical risers. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Titchfield, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.

For a kitchen in or near Titchfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

The sign-off is always in writing: 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

How the visit works

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Titchfield.

  1. We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
  2. Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
  3. With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
  4. The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
  5. Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

How to prepare

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Part by part

Schools, hospitals and care homes

School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.

Kitchen extracts in Titchfield

At about 2 miles from the coast, Titchfield is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Titchfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 21 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Titchfield. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Titchfield sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fareham Community Hospital (about 2.3 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Titchfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Titchfield Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Titchfield is about 2 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Titchfield and the rest of Hampshire. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 7 miles away.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Titchfield

Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Parking and loading at the site

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • A few general shots of the system

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Leave it or put it right?

TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What a clean will not put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
  • A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
  • A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
