TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hursley
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are missing paperwork after a change of operator and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Most calls from Hursley come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Hursley: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Hursley knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading

Common problems we fix in Hursley
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Hampshire County Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hursley, about 3.6 miles north-east.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Kitchen extract cleaning in Hursley: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Hursley, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Kitchens in Hursley 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. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hursley. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Hursley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as John Keble Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Hursley is about 3 miles north of Chandler's Ford, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Hursley, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Hursley is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. Southampton is in our area too, around 7 miles away.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. 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.
Why act early in Hursley
Any food business in Hursley can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. With notice, the visit to Hursley can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hursley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Hursley
Is Hursley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hursley included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hursley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hursley. 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.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
