TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Woodside
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Woodside asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a small place like Woodside, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Woodside run smoothly.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- 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.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Questions from Woodside
Is Woodside within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Woodside included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Woodside?
Food hygiene inspections in Woodside are carried out by Test Valley council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Woodside
The fire and rescue service for Woodside is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Woodside, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Common problems we fix in Woodside
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. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Woodside, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. That is our job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Woodside
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
