Kitchen duct cleaning in Crookham Village
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Crookham Village, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and vertical risers. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Crookham Village covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Crookham Village starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Crookham Village?
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
For schools such as All Saints Church of England Aided Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common questions in Crookham Village
Can you come to Crookham Village after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Crookham Village needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Crookham Village?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Crookham Village included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Why act early in Crookham Village
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. A fault that closes a site in a village like Crookham Village affects everyone who depends on it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Crookham Village
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Grease, kitchens and Crookham Village
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crookham Village. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Crookham Village sits within the area of 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. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crookham Village. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 4.5 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
