Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Farringdon

If you are dealing with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and discharge points onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Farringdon? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
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.
In a village or hamlet like Farringdon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kitchen extracts in Farringdon
Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Farringdon. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Farringdon. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Farringdon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 3.7 miles north-west), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Farringdon, about 2 miles north.

What affects the quote in Farringdon
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Farringdon questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Farringdon?
The local authority for Farringdon is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to Farringdon after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Farringdon needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
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 happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Farringdon and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. A fault that closes a site in a village like Farringdon affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What else we do in Farringdon
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
