Kitchen extract cleaning in Bonchurch, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Bonchurch, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Bonchurch it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Somewhere as small as Bonchurch, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something 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 send you a fixed quote.
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, alongside our reports.
When to call us in Bonchurch
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Rylstone Manor, about 1.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Bonchurch; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Bonchurch
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in Bonchurch can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. In a place like Bonchurch, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, 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. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Bonchurch
Can you get to a site in Bonchurch?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bonchurch is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bonchurch in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bonchurch. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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 TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Grease, kitchens and Bonchurch
Bonchurch is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 21 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways across Bonchurch 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. The fire and rescue service for Bonchurch is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Old St. Boniface Church or anywhere around Bonchurch, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like St Catherine's School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bonchurch knowing what to expect.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
