What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Hurstbourne Tarrant
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Hurstbourne Tarrant? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Hurstbourne Tarrant covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hurstbourne Tarrant run smoothly.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Hurstbourne Tarrant: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Hurstbourne Tarrant?
The local authority for Hurstbourne Tarrant is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you work in Hurstbourne Tarrant outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

When to call us in Hurstbourne Tarrant
A kitchen in Hurstbourne Tarrant builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Hurstbourne Tarrant, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
