Kitchen extraction cleaning in Emery Down
Kitchen extract cleaning in Emery Down from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Grease smells coming from the extract
What we’re called out for in Emery Down
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Emery Down, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Emery Down
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history. Most calls from Emery Down come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Emery Down starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in Emery Down
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Emery Down
Can you get to a site in Emery Down?
Yes, Emery Down is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Emery Down be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Emery Down can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Kitchen extracts in Emery Down
There are about 21 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Emery Down, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Emery Down. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Emery Down get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ashurst Hospital about 3.1 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Emery Down are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. If the system at a site near Emery Down fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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 will go through it with you.

What affects the quote in Emery Down
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
