Grease, kitchens and Upper Street
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Upper Street. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Upper Street. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Upper Street sits within the area of 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.
Breamore House, about 0.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Upper Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Salisbury District Hospital (about 5.5 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Street, done properly
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Upper Street usually mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: 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.
In a small place like Upper Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Street
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Upper Street: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Upper Street?
Yes, Upper Street is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Upper Street outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Upper Street can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Street?
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease smells coming from the extract
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Upper Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
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 make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Upper Street.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
