Kitchen duct cleaning in Curbridge
Any kitchen we clean in Curbridge gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Curbridge? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Curbridge goes well beyond the canopy.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Curbridge gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Curbridge questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Curbridge during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Curbridge, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Curbridge?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Curbridge keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Is Curbridge in your area?
Yes. Curbridge is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Around Curbridge, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
When to call us in Curbridge
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 2.3 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.

What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Curbridge at a time that suits you.
