Kitchen extract cleaning in Bursledon, done properly
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you have grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Bursledon covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
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.
Around a smaller place like Bursledon, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

When to call us in Bursledon
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School or anywhere near Bursledon, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a survey comes first
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Bursledon
Do you cover smaller places like Bursledon?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bursledon included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bursledon?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long will the clean take?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
