How kitchen extract cleaning works in SP6
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 film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We’re often asked to deal with rancid smells from grease in the duct and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning across SP6: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SP6 takes in places such as Fordingbridge, Alderholt and Ashford and the villages in between. Every place on our SP6 list (30 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in SP6 and beyond.
Fordingbridge: For schools such as Fordingbridge Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Fordingbridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in SP6 can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep grease collection points emptied
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Questions from SP6
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Do you work in SP6?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes SP6.
What information do you need?
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 work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
