Kitchen extract cleaning in Hensting: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Hensting and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Hensting 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. Kitchens in Hensting get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Hensting, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hensting
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and fat running down the canopy edge. When a restaurant in Hensting asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows every 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.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hensting and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What affects the quote in Hensting
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Part by part
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.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hensting
An overdue clean in Hensting is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Questions from Hensting
Which fire authority looks after Hensting?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hensting. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Hensting be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Hensting keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hensting
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 4.3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
