About our kitchen extract cleaning in Hinton Ampner
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease smells coming from the extract. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Hinton Ampner? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Hinton Ampner, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Hinton Ampner knowing what to expect.
- 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, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep grease collection points emptied
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Hinton Ampner
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hinton Ampner?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which environmental health team covers Hinton Ampner?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hinton Ampner. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
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. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.

What else we do in Hinton Ampner
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hinton Ampner
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cheriton Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How they set the interval to the next visit
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hinton Ampner and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
What affects the quote in Hinton Ampner
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Grease, kitchens and Hinton Ampner
Fire safety in Hinton Ampner 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. Food hygiene inspections in Hinton Ampner are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Hinton Ampner, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 0.3 miles south), access may need planning.
