TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wells-in-the-Field
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. We’re often asked to deal with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters. Most calls from Wells-in-the-Field come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Most kitchens in Wells-in-the-Field fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
For a kitchen in or near Wells-in-the-Field, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Grease, kitchens and Wells-in-the-Field
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Wells-in-the-Field, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. The fire and rescue service for Wells-in-the-Field is 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. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Wells-in-the-Field. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Wells-in-the-Field?
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Look out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Nicholas' Church or anywhere around Wells-in-the-Field, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
