Leave it or put it right?
If your kitchen in Hart Plain is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Hart Plain
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Hart Plain? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Hart Plain gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in Hart Plain
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Hart Plain can typically be finished without a second trip.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hart Plain
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Hart Plain questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hart Plain during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Hart Plain, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you come to Hart Plain after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Hart Plain keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
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.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
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 does not spread.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Hart Plain: the local picture
There are about 36 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hart Plain, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Kitchens in Hart Plain get their food hygiene inspections from Havant council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Hart Plain falls to 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Hart Plain Church or elsewhere in Hart Plain, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Hart Plain Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 3.5 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
