Kitchen extract cleaning in Fareham Common, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Fareham Common give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the canopy edge and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Fareham Common? 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 Fareham Common goes well beyond the canopy.
In a smaller place like Fareham Common, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we are called out for in Fareham Common
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Commuter trade near Fareham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What insurance they carry
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether a survey comes first
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
What affects the quote in Fareham Common
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
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 we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A site near Fareham Common usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Why it’s worth doing now in Fareham Common
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Fareham Common than wait for a failure.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Fareham Common: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Fareham Common?
In Fareham Common, it’s Fareham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Does the sea air around Fareham Common make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
It can. Fareham Common is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
