How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in West Tisted
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in West Tisted, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. We’re often asked to deal with grease smells coming from the extract and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from West Tisted start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
We clean every reachable part of the system in West Tisted: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like West Tisted, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we are called out for in West Tisted
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. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in West Tisted, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a survey comes first
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
What happens if it’s left?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. In a small place like West Tisted, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

FAQs for West Tisted
Which fire authority looks after West Tisted?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for West Tisted. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers West Tisted?
The local authority for West Tisted is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract 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.
When do you clean the extract?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to West Tisted.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Ask for a quote
