Kitchen duct cleaning in Wymering
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. 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. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right, from extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Wymering goes.
Kitchens around a place like Wymering 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
What affects the quote in Wymering
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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 explain each part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Wymering.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Kitchen extract cleaning in Wymering: the local picture
Wymering is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 72 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 43 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Wymering. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Wymering are the job of Portsmouth council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Alexandra Hospital about under half a mile north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around Cosham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Wymering?
In Wymering, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Wymering, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
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 photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Questions from Wymering
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Wymering during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 15 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Wymering, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Wymering?
Yes, Wymering is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
