Kitchen duct cleaning in Foxcotte
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Foxcotte? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Foxcotte covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Foxcotte, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit 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 one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a village or hamlet like Foxcotte, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading

Kitchen extracts in Foxcotte
The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Foxcotte. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Foxcotte falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Foxcotte, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Thomas or anywhere around Foxcotte, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Harrow Way Community School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. If the system at a site near Foxcotte fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

FAQs for Foxcotte
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Foxcotte?
Food hygiene inspections in Foxcotte are carried out by Test Valley council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Foxcotte?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
