Braishfield kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning across Braishfield and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Braishfield
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about grease drips onto cooking equipment and rancid smells from grease in the duct. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Braishfield, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Most kitchens in Braishfield fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
For a kitchen in or near Braishfield, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Braishfield
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Braishfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why act early in Braishfield
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Planning a trip to Braishfield ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Braishfield questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Braishfield?
Braishfield is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you work in Braishfield outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Braishfield keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Braishfield: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Braishfield. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Braishfield sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Braishfield get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 2.2 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 3.3 miles north-west), access may need planning.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Braishfield, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
