Kitchen extraction cleaning in Grateley
Kitchen extract cleaning across Grateley and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
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, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Grateley, done properly
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the canopy edge and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Grateley it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Grateley: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Grateley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Visits to a village like Grateley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Managing agents and facilities teams in Grateley
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Kitchen extracts in Grateley
Grateley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Grateley get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For kitchens close to Grateley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Where a hall near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Grateley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:

Common questions in Grateley
Do you work at weekends in Grateley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Grateley keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Grateley?
Fire safety enforcement in Grateley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in Grateley can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
