Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Up Somborne
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Up Somborne give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with stale cooking odours from the system and missing paperwork after a change of operator, on horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and extract fans. When a restaurant in Up Somborne asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a kitchen in or near Up Somborne, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Up Somborne: the local picture
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Up Somborne. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Up Somborne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around Up Somborne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Hampshire County Hospital is the nearest hospital to Up Somborne, about 4.9 miles south-east.
Up Somborne is about 5 miles north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
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.
Common questions in Up Somborne
Which environmental health team covers Up Somborne?
Food hygiene inspections in Up Somborne are carried out by Winchester City council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Up Somborne?
Up Somborne is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you do not lose a service.
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Up Somborne before we set off.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Why act early in Up Somborne
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. If the system at a site near Up Somborne fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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 play a part.

What affects the quote in Up Somborne
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- 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
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
