TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Widley
Kitchen extract cleaning in Widley from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Widley.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Kitchen extract cleaning in Widley, done properly
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. When a restaurant in Widley asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Widley: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Widley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A broken extract fan that will not run

- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Widley
Sea air reaches Widley, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 12 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Widley. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Widley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Widley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Warblington Castle is about 3.7 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What we are called out for in Widley
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Alexandra Hospital is the nearest hospital to Widley, about 1 mile south-west.
What to look for in a quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Leave it or put it right?
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, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Each visit written up, with photos

Widley: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Widley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Widley. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Widley?
Kitchens in Widley are inspected by Havant council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What is TR19?
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 isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is Widley in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Widley included.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
