Kitchen extract cleaning in Wickham
Any kitchen we clean in Wickham gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Common call-outs are for an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and plenums and filters. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wickham, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in 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.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Wickham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Wickham: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wickham. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Wickham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wickham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Wickham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wickham Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Wickham is about 3 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in the PO17 postcode area, we can carry out kitchen extract cleaning at your premises. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Wickham among them. We also work in Portsmouth, around 8 miles away.
Kitchen extract cleaning in PO17 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Around Wickham
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Old House Hotel, among other places. The nearest railway station is Fareham station, about 3.2 miles south. A little further out are Fareham Shopping Centre (3.2 miles south) and Carron Row Farm Museum (3.5 miles south-west). Not far away are St Clair's Meadow and Portsdown Hill.
When to call us in Wickham
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Wickham
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Wickham: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wickham in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Wickham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you cover smaller places like Wickham?
Yes. Wickham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A site near Wickham normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
