Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Froyle
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
Most kitchens in Froyle fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a small place like Froyle, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
For kitchen extract cleaning in Froyle, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Froyle
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Froyle is Alton Community Hospital, about 4.5 miles south-west.
What to look for in a quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
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.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Froyle
Which environmental health team covers Froyle?
The local authority for Froyle is East Hampshire 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.
Will you come out to Froyle?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Froyle included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere like Froyle, 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Kitchen extracts in Froyle
Froyle is covered by 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. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Froyle. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, or anywhere in Froyle, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
