Kitchen extract cleaning in Botley, Hampshire
We cover Botley for kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Botley
Any kitchen we clean in Botley gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you are dealing with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Botley start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Kitchens around a place like Botley are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in Botley is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. A site near Botley that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

What else we do in Botley
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a place like Botley, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
What a clean will not put right
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Botley
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Common problems we fix in Botley
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you cook for passing trade around Botley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What staff can safely do
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The fire and rescue service for Botley 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.

Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
