Kitchen extract cleaning in Horndean, done properly
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can help. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Horndean covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
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 town like Horndean, most of the kitchen extracts we’re asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Horndean
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in Horndean and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Horndean, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. 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. Fire safety in Horndean 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.
Warblington Castle, about 4.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Horndean; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as Horndean Technology College, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Wilfrid's, or anywhere in Horndean, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What’s near Horndean
In Horndean, that means kitchens and buildings near Horndean Infant School and Red Lion Inn and the streets around them. Horndean’s nearest station is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 2.6 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Havant War Memorial Hospital (3.8 miles south) and Clanfield Earthwork (3 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Windmill Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
Why act early in Horndean
An overdue clean in Horndean is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Whatever the system, dirt and wear only get worse.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Horndean: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Horndean?
Horndean is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work at weekends in Horndean?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Horndean doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For kitchen extract cleaning in Horndean, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
