Golden Pot kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for Golden Pot, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Golden Pot
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a village or hamlet like Golden Pot, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fault that closes a site in a village like Golden Pot affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What affects the quote in Golden Pot
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Common questions in Golden Pot
Do you work in villages like Golden Pot?
Yes, Golden Pot is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Golden Pot be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Golden Pot doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t 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 survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Golden Pot can be planned properly.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

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, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
