Kitchen extracts in Keyhaven
At about 1 mile from the coast, Keyhaven is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Keyhaven, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Keyhaven is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Keyhaven, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

TR19 inspection in Keyhaven
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are extracts that have never been grease tested and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
Work in a small place like Keyhaven starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Keyhaven
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a village or hamlet like Keyhaven, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Never cook with filters missing
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep to the recommended interval
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

Other services in Keyhaven
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 will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks

Keyhaven questions
Which fire authority looks after Keyhaven?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Keyhaven. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Keyhaven?
Yes. Keyhaven is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, as suits the job.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Common problems we fix in Keyhaven
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 3.4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
