What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Picket Twenty are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How we handle canopy cleaning in Picket Twenty
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for drips from the canopy onto the range and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, across baffle filters, canopy light fittings and grease gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Picket Twenty, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Canopy cleaning around Picket Twenty
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 19 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Picket Twenty. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Picket Twenty. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Picket Twenty falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School or anywhere near Picket Twenty, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 1.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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, next to our reports.

Other services in Picket Twenty
Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Common questions in Picket Twenty
Which council inspects kitchens in Picket Twenty?
That is Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Picket Twenty. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Picket Twenty?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Picket Twenty included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What affects the quote in Picket Twenty
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
What we are called out for in Picket Twenty
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Picket Twenty, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether VAT is included
