Kitchen extract cleaning in Upham, Hampshire
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Upham, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
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 and report suit estates and compliance files.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Upham
Any kitchen we clean in Upham gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you are dealing with stale cooking odours from the system and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can help, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
A clean in Upham covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Upham, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a small place like Upham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Upham
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Upham is Moorgreen Hospital, about 5.4 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What records you will receive afterwards
Grease, kitchens and Upham
Upham is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Upham. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Upham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Upham is about 5 miles east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Sites in Upham get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Upham is one of them. There’s also a page for Southampton, roughly 8 miles from Upham.

Upham questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Upham?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work at weekends in Upham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to 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. With notice, the visit to Upham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
