Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Chilbolton
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Chilbolton, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Chilbolton, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
A clean in Chilbolton covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Chilbolton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What affects the quote in Chilbolton
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Chilbolton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Chilbolton
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars in Chilbolton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Chilbolton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Chilbolton are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 5 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Less, or anywhere in Chilbolton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Chilbolton: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Chilbolton?
Kitchens in Chilbolton are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Chilbolton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Chilbolton needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
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 many insurers ask for proof of it.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Chilbolton?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wherwell Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
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.
