TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Twyford
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 a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are a system with no record of a TR19 clean and stale cooking odours from the system. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Twyford, you get one team and one number for every site.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Twyford questions
Is Twyford within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Twyford included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Twyford?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Twyford?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Twyford run smoothly.
- 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.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.

- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Twyford: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Twyford. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Twyford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Twyford sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
School kitchens, at schools like Twyford St Mary's Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A kitchen near Shawford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Common problems we fix in Twyford
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Twyford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
