Kitchen extracts in Denmead
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Denmead. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. In Denmead, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Denmead 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.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Denmead, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Alexandra Hospital (about 3.5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Denmead Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Denmead
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers restaurants and pubs, island canopies and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and weak extraction at the canopy.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Denmead gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What else we do in Denmead
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Denmead
Can you get to a site in Denmead?
Yes, Denmead is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Denmead?
In Denmead, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will give you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Denmead
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and we clear up before we go. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Denmead, so let us know how to reach it.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Denmead
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Photo reports with every job
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
What affects the quote in Denmead
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
