Kitchen extract cleaning in Tye, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Tye give you that record for the maintenance log. If you’re dealing with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Tye start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Most kitchens in Tye fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as Tye, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
We turn up 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 any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere as small as Tye, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Tye rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

FAQs for Tye
Do you cover smaller places like Tye?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tye?
That is Havant council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tye. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
When to call us in Tye
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Warblington Castle is about 2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What affects the quote in Tye
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- 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
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Tye: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Tye is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Tye. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Tye get their food hygiene inspections from Havant council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 2.9 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 Tye, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Tye is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Tye, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Tye is one of them.
Postcode districts we cover here for kitchen extract cleaning: PO11. We cover sites on Gutner Lane and Copse Lane and nearby roads. We also cover the places around Tye: North Hayling (1 mile north), Northney (1 mile north), Stoke (1 mile west), Thorney Island (1 mile north-east) and Warblington (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north), Fareham (11 miles west), Horndean (7 miles north), Waterlooville (6 miles north-west) and Petersfield (13 miles north).
What’s near Tye
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Hayling College, Eames Farm and The Maypole pub, among other places. The nearest railway station is Emsworth station, about 2.6 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles north-west) and Emsworth Museum (2.4 miles north). The countryside around Tye includes Hayling Billy.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
