In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Penton Corner
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you’re dealing with smoke hanging around the canopy during service and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, we can help, from island canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Penton Corner.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Penton Corner is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A written report with photos after each visit

Canopy cleaning in Penton Corner: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Penton Corner. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Penton Corner, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Penton Corner. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Portway Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Penton Corner, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Keep the fan on through service
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
What we are called out for in Penton Corner
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Penton Corner: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Penton Corner questions
Do you work in villages like Penton Corner?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Penton Corner is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Penton Corner?
In Penton Corner, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
