Kitchen extract cleaning across PO34: what to expect
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. We’re often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, on extract fans, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- 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.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning across PO34: local notes
From Appley, Nettlestone and Seaview to its smaller places, PO34 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Across England, including PO34, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work. Near the coast in PO34, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.
Nettlestone: If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Nettlestone Primary School or anywhere near Nettlestone, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Gosport War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Nettlestone, about 5.8 miles north.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Why act early?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common problems we fix in PO34
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
What we are most often called out for:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
PO34 questions
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
