Questions from Brambridge
Do you work overnight in Brambridge?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Brambridge can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Brambridge?
Fire safety enforcement in Brambridge is handled by 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.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Brambridge
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Typical jobs include a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and discharge points. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Brambridge covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as Brambridge, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Brambridge kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brambridge. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Brambridge. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Brambridge is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital about 4.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Brambridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Brambridge is about 2 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Brambridge gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Brambridge among them. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 6 miles from Brambridge.

Near you in Brambridge
In Brambridge, that means kitchens and buildings near Thornden School. For rail, the closest station is Shawford station, about 2 miles north.

Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What else we do in Brambridge
What affects the quote in Brambridge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work 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 Brambridge, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When to call us in Brambridge
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Fat running down the canopy edge
School kitchens, at schools like Colden Common Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
