Kitchen extract cleaning in Hawley
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Hawley give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Hawley normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a smaller kitchen near Hawley, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Hawley, so let us know how to reach it.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Grease, kitchens and Hawley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 13 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Hawley. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Hawley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Hawley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hawley Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Frimley Park Hospital, about 1.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Hawley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Well-known places in the area include Staff College Museum (1.6 miles north-east) and Frimley Park Hospital (1.7 miles east). Open spaces near Hawley include Wildmoor Heath and Horseshoe Lake.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Hawley: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hawley out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Hawley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 15 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after Hawley?
Fire safety enforcement in Hawley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you do not lose a service.
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 TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Hawley
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. 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. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
