Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Eastrop
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about grease smells coming from the extract and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Kitchens in Eastrop book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Kitchens around a place like Eastrop are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Eastrop
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Even a site near Eastrop that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What else we do in Eastrop
Kitchen extract cleaning around Eastrop
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 29 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels and B&Bs in Eastrop and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Eastrop get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Eastrop is 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.
A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 1.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Eastrop, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Eastrop is about 1 mile east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Eastrop and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Eastrop among them. We also work in Reading, around 13 miles away.

Local landmarks in Eastrop
Around Eastrop, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Fairfields Primary School, Eastrop Park and The Angel pub and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Eastrop itself: Basingstoke station. A little further out are Festival Place (less than half a mile west) and Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (1.6 miles north-west). Not far away are Farleigh Hill and Daneshill Park Woods.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Eastrop can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
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 new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Eastrop: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Eastrop?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Eastrop. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Eastrop in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 28 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Eastrop. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What we are called out for in Eastrop
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Stale cooking odours from the system
If you run a café or takeaway near Basingstoke station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
