TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Frithend
Any kitchen we clean in Frithend gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you’re dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can help. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Frithend covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Frithend
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
What we are called out for in Frithend
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 4.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- Whether they recommend a next date
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Frithend: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Frithend are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Frithend is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Church Of The Good Shepherd or anywhere around Frithend, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Frithend is Chase Community Hospital, about 3.5 miles south.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Frithend is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Frithend
Do you work at weekends in Frithend?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Frithend can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Frithend?
In Frithend, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Why it’s worth doing now in Frithend
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 current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Frithend
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
You get a photo report after every clean. 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.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
