TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in West Meon
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Somewhere as small as West Meon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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. That is our job.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Meon
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in West Meon?
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in West Meon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to West Meon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in West Meon and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
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.

Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook.

Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in West Meon
Who is the fire and rescue service for West Meon?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for West Meon. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in West Meon?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in West Meon does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
