How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Ibworth
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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Common call-outs are for an extract that no longer clears the smoke and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
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.
Somewhere as small as Ibworth, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ibworth
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Ibworth rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ibworth
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
Kitchen extract cleaning in Ibworth: the local picture
In Ibworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. We cover Ibworth, about 50 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 3.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Ibworth: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ibworth?
Ibworth is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Ibworth?
Yes. Ibworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Ibworth?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a small place like Ibworth, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
