About our kitchen extract cleaning in Waterlooville
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and fat running down the canopy edge, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Waterlooville, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
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.
Many kitchens in a town like Waterlooville were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Where the duct can’t be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Waterlooville: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Waterlooville is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 39 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Waterlooville, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Waterlooville falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Waterlooville (Warblington Castle is about 4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint George's, or anywhere in Waterlooville, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Waterlooville is about 6 miles north of Portsmouth, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Waterlooville or further out, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Waterlooville is one of them. Our Portsmouth page covers sites nearby, about 6 miles away.

Around Waterlooville
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Cowplain Community School and The Denmead Queen pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Bedhampton station, about 2.6 miles south-east. Nearby you will also find Queen Alexandra Hospital (2.7 miles south-west) and Havant Museum (3.3 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Portsdown Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.
Why act early in Waterlooville
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What else we do in Waterlooville
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Waterlooville?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Waterlooville is Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 2.7 miles south-west.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The more we can see of the system beforehand, the smoother the visit to Waterlooville will be.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Questions from Waterlooville
Can you work in Waterlooville outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Waterlooville keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Waterlooville out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Waterlooville. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
