How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Farleigh Wallop
Across Farleigh Wallop, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you’re dealing with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Farleigh Wallop start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a village or hamlet like Farleigh Wallop, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Farleigh Wallop
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. With notice, the visit to Farleigh Wallop can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Farleigh Wallop, let us know and we will plan around it.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
When to call us in Farleigh Wallop
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Stale cooking odours from the system
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Andrew or elsewhere in Farleigh Wallop, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
Questions from Farleigh Wallop
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Farleigh Wallop?
The local authority for Farleigh Wallop is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Farleigh Wallop?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Farleigh Wallop doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
