Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Stratton
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in East Stratton, usually within one working day. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and extract fans onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in East Stratton covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a small place like East Stratton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in East Stratton
East Stratton is covered by 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. In East Stratton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in East Stratton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in East Stratton?
A kitchen in East Stratton builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
For kitchens in and around East Stratton, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send photos, we can arrive in East Stratton knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Questions from East Stratton
Which environmental health team covers East Stratton?
Kitchens in East Stratton are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you work in East Stratton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in East Stratton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in East Stratton
What happens if it’s left?
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 current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. With notice, the visit to East Stratton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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 you get with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in East Stratton
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
