Hampshire · Kitchen extract cleaning
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Worting
We cover Worting for kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A quieter site near Worting still needs its system looked after.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Worting, done properly
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about a kitchen taken over without any extract records and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across 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.
Kitchens around a place like Worting are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What else we do in Worting
Worting questions
Can you work in Worting outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Worting can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Worting?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Worting. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: 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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Worting
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Worting
There are about 33 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Worting, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Worting. 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 Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Worting. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 1.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Chiltern Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (The Vyne is about 3.7 miles north-east), access may need planning.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A site near Worting normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
