Kitchen extract cleaning in Hatch Warren, Hampshire

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Hatch Warren
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, vertical risers and plenums and filters onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a smaller place like Hatch Warren, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. For a site near Hatch Warren, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hatch Warren
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Hatch Warren
- We diagnose before we treat
- We’re fully insured

Questions from Hatch Warren
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hatch Warren in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hatch Warren. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work at weekends in Hatch Warren?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Hatch Warren needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hatch Warren
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered across Hatch Warren and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Hatch Warren, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hatch Warren. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 3.2 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Church Of Christ The King or anywhere around Hatch Warren, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Hatch Warren Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
