Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Burridge
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Burridge, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include a system with no record of a TR19 clean and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Burridge typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
For a kitchen in or near Burridge, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common problems we fix in Burridge
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Whiteley Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What affects the quote in Burridge
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Burridge run smoothly.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
FAQs for Burridge
Can you come to Burridge after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Burridge doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Burridge?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Other services in Burridge
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Burridge and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Burridge: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 44 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Burridge. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Burridge falls to 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. In Burridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fareham Community Hospital about 1.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
