What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ashey
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Kitchens in Ashey book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Ashey, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in Ashey
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Ashey
Ashey lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Ashey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Ashey. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ryde Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children is the nearest hospital to Ashey, about 4.4 miles south. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Nunwell House is about 1.5 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Ashey is about 2 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Ashey and the rest of the Isle of Wight. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our Portsmouth page covers sites nearby, about 9 miles away.

We also cover the places around Ashey: Adgestone (2 miles south-east), Brading (2 miles south-east), Morton (2 miles south-east), Alverstone Garden Village (2 miles south) and Yarbridge (2 miles south-east).

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ashey.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Ashey
Can the work in Ashey be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Ashey keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Ashey?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Ashey than inland. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re 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’re fully insured.
