About our kitchen extract cleaning in Easton
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that no longer clears the smoke and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. Most calls from Easton come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Easton, 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 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.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Easton: the local picture
Look up Easton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Easton, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Easton are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Easton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Peter Symonds College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Easton is St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 2.3 miles south-west.
Easton is about 3 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO21, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Easton is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 13 miles from Easton.

What else we do in Easton
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Easton
Can the work in Easton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Easton?
Kitchens in Easton 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.
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, which grease thickness testing will show.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Easton run smoothly.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Easton
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Easton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
