TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Bramdean
We cover Bramdean for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. 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.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Bramdean
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you’re dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Bramdean? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Bramdean: the local picture
Fire safety in Bramdean falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Bramdean are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Simon and St Jude or elsewhere in Bramdean, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Why it’s worth doing now in Bramdean
An overdue clean in Bramdean 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 work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us

Questions from Bramdean
Can the work in Bramdean be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Bramdean keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Bramdean?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Bramdean are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
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.
What we are called out for in Bramdean
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 1.3 miles west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
