TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wherwell
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wherwell, you get one team and one number for every site.
A clean in Wherwell covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Wherwell, 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.
The report is your 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.

FAQs for Wherwell
Do you work overnight in Wherwell?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Wherwell needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Wherwell?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wherwell included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Wherwell: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wherwell. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Wherwell 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. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Wherwell. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and Holy Cross or elsewhere in Wherwell, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wherwell, about 4 miles north-west.
Wherwell is about 3 miles south-east of Andover, in Hampshire.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
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 is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Wherwell, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

When to call us in Wherwell
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wherwell Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wherwell
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
