Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Chale Green
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. We are often asked to deal with fat running down the canopy edge and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Chale Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Most kitchens in Chale Green fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as Chale Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
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, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. 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.
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In a small place like Chale Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
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.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Chale Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Kitchen extract cleaning in Chale Green: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Chale Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Fire safety in Chale Green 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. Kitchens in Chale Green get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Whitecroft Hospital, about 3.9 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. James' Church or elsewhere in Chale Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Chale Green is about 6 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO38 area, we can carry out kitchen extract cleaning at your premises. Chale Green is one of 125 towns, villages and districts in the Isle of Wight we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. We also work in Portsmouth, about 17 miles from Chale Green.

What we are called out for in Chale Green
A kitchen in Chale Green builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Wolverton Manor is about 2.5 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chale Green
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Chale Green
Can you come to Chale Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Chale Green can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Chale Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Chale Green is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
