Kitchen extract cleaning in Clatterford, Isle of Wight
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Clatterford. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
When to call us in Clatterford
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Nicholas in Castro, or anywhere in Clatterford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
Kitchen extract cleaning in Clatterford, done properly
Any kitchen we clean in Clatterford gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Clatterford covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Clatterford: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Clatterford, 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.
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 carry full insurance.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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 cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Yes. Clatterford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Related advice
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
