TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Foulford
For kitchen extract cleaning in Foulford, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Foulford
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Leonard's Hospital (about 5.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether VAT is included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Kitchen extract cleaning in Foulford
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and missing paperwork after a change of operator, on horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Foulford start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a small place like Foulford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Foulford: your questions answered
Can you come to Foulford after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Foulford keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire authority looks after Foulford?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Foulford. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself is not law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
If your kitchen in Foulford is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. In a place like Foulford, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Grease, kitchens and Foulford
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Foulford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Foulford. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Foulford sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Historic houses near Foulford, such as Avon Tyrrell House about 3.3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ringwood School Academy or anywhere near Foulford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere like Foulford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit

What affects the quote in Foulford
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
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 to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Foulford, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
