Kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Burgate, 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. For a kitchen in Upper Burgate, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. When a restaurant in Upper Burgate 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.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Burgate, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: 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 are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Upper Burgate, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
What we’re called out for in Upper Burgate
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. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
For schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Upper Burgate as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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.

What affects the quote in Upper Burgate
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which 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.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Burgate
Which fire service covers Upper Burgate?
That’s 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 do school kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Burgate in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Upper Burgate, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
