Kitchen extract cleaning in Funtley, Hampshire
We cover Funtley for kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The timing of a visit to Funtley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Funtley
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Typical jobs include years of baked-on grease in the ducts and fat running down the canopy edge, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Funtley? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Most kitchens in Funtley 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.
For a kitchen in or near Funtley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, 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.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Funtley: the local picture
Funtley is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs and bars registered in and around Funtley, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Funtley 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Funtley is Knowle Hospital, about 0.7 miles north. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Orchard Lea Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Funtley is about 1 mile north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Sites in Funtley get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Funtley is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, about 7 miles away.

What else we do in Funtley
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Funtley?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Francis or elsewhere in Funtley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Funtley
Can school kitchens in Funtley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 12 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Funtley. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Funtley?
It can, as Funtley is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
