Questions from Welborne
Which fire service covers Welborne?
Fire safety enforcement in Welborne is handled by 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.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Welborne?
The local authority for Welborne is Fareham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
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 advise on what to do next.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Welborne
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on canopies and hoods, vertical risers and discharge points. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
For a kitchen in or near Welborne, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Common problems we fix in Welborne
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Henry Cort Community College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Wash or exchange the filters often
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Welborne: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Welborne. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Welborne. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Welborne falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 0.5 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Francis or elsewhere in Welborne, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do 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. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Welborne knowing what to expect.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
