Kitchen extraction cleaning in Well
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for commercial sites in Well and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.

- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Well
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you’re dealing with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and canopies and hoods onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Well, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Well: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Well, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Well
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
What else we do in Well
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Well
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:

- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor that has burnt out

Grease, kitchens and Well
At about 40 miles from central London, Well sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Well is covered by 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Lord Wandsworth College for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Lord Wandsworth College Chapel, or anywhere in Well, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 5.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Well is about 5 miles west of Farnham, in Hampshire. Well gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Well is one of them. There’s also a page for Guildford, about 15 miles away.
Here we cover the RG29 postcode area for kitchen extract cleaning. We also cover Long Sutton (1 mile west), South Warnborough (2 miles west), Odiham (3 miles north), Broad Oak (3 miles north) and North Warnborough (4 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (9 miles north-west), Farnborough (8 miles north-east), Fleet (5 miles north-east), Aldershot (7 miles east), Alton (5 miles south-west) and Petersfield (14 miles south).
Landmarks near Well
The nearest railway station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2.9 miles south-east. Nearby you will also find Fleet Community Hospital (5.8 miles north-east) and Barley Pound (2.2 miles east). Not far away are Holybourne Hill and Dogmersfield Lake.
How it works
Your staff do not 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 the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Well.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Questions from Well
Is Well within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Well included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Well?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Well doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
