About our kitchen extract cleaning in Abshot
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Abshot, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about grease drips onto cooking equipment and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Abshot, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
FAQs for Abshot
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Abshot?
Food hygiene inspections in Abshot are carried out by Fareham council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Abshot?
It can. Abshot is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you work in Abshot?
Yes. We work in Abshot and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What we are called out for in Abshot
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Abshot, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John or elsewhere in Abshot, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens on the day
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. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Abshot.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Abshot is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Other services in Abshot
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Abshot
Sea air reaches Abshot, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 25 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Abshot. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Abshot is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Fareham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Abshot, about 1.7 miles north. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Locks Heath Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Abshot
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Abshot and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
