What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Appleshaw
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you have an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Appleshaw, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Work in a small place like Appleshaw 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Planning a trip to Appleshaw ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Appleshaw run smoothly.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Appleshaw: your questions answered
Will you come out to Appleshaw?
Yes. Appleshaw is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Appleshaw?
That is Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Appleshaw. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
Kitchen extracts in Appleshaw
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Appleshaw and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Appleshaw 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. In Appleshaw, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter in the Wood or anywhere around Appleshaw, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 3.2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Appleshaw is about 4 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Sites in Appleshaw get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Appleshaw is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. There’s also a page for Southampton, about 23 miles away.
Work in SP11 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Whether your site is on Greensey and West Park or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover the places around Appleshaw: Redenham (1 mile north-west), Clanville (1 mile north-east), Faberstown (1 mile west), Weyhill (1 mile south) and Fyfield (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cover Andover (4 miles south-east), Tidworth (4 miles west), Weeke (15 miles south-east), Ludgershall (3 miles north-west), Whitchurch (10 miles east) and East Anton (4 miles east).
What’s near Appleshaw
Typical jobs here are in premises near Walnut Tree Inn and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Andover station, roughly 3.4 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Andover War Memorial Hospital (3.2 miles south-east) and Ludgershall Castle (3.1 miles north-west). The countryside around Appleshaw includes Quarley Hill and Mill Lake.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
