TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in King's Somborne
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. 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, vertical risers and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in King's Somborne, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near King's Somborne, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in King's Somborne
Kitchens in King's Somborne get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. King's Somborne is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in King's Somborne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as King's Somborne Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we are called out for in King's Somborne
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 5.8 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What happens if it’s left?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. In a small place like King's Somborne, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
