Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Broughton
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points onwards. When a restaurant in Broughton asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
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.
In a village or hamlet like Broughton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

Broughton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Broughton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broughton is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Broughton outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Broughton kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Broughton falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Broughton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Broughton Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 3.9 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Broughton is about 8 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. From the centre of Broughton to the outskirts, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Broughton is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page (14 miles or so).
All of SO20 is covered for kitchen extract cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. Whether your site is on High Street, Greyhound Mews and Plough Gardens or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. Other places close to Broughton include Houghton (2 miles east), Horsebridge (3 miles south-east), Mottisfont (4 miles south), Stonymarsh (4 miles south-east) and Lockerley (4 miles south). Further out, we also cover Winchester (11 miles east), Eastleigh (13 miles south-east), Andover (9 miles north-east), Totton (12 miles south), Chandler's Ford (11 miles south-east) and Romsey (8 miles south-east).
Near you in Broughton
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Tally Ho Public House and the streets around them. The closest station to Broughton is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 4.3 miles south.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Somewhere as small as Broughton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Broughton.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Broughton?
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Broughton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
