Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Kimpton, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Kimpton can be planned properly.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Kimpton
Fire safety in Kimpton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Kimpton get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Kimpton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common problems we fix in Kimpton
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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

FAQs for Kimpton
Which council inspects kitchens in Kimpton?
Food hygiene inspections in Kimpton are carried out by Test Valley council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Kimpton?
Yes. Kimpton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
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 often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
