Kitchen extract cleaning in Trotton, Hampshire
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for Trotton, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Trotton
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Common call-outs are for grease smells coming from the extract and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Kitchens in Trotton book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Trotton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- 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.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Trotton, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- 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
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Grease, kitchens and Trotton
Fire safety in Trotton falls to 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. Trotton is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Trotton is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 3 miles east. Church and community hall kitchens, near St George's Church or anywhere around Trotton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cowdray House is about 3.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Trotton
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Common questions in Trotton
Which fire authority looks after Trotton?
Trotton is in the area of 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 Trotton out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Trotton. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
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 protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
