Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kingsley
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy or filters and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Kingsley, you get one team and one number for every site.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Kingsley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

Why act early in Kingsley
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Kingsley is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
Common problems we fix in Kingsley
In Kingsley, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Kingsley, about 2.3 miles south.

Kingsley questions
Which environmental health team covers Kingsley?
Food hygiene inspections in Kingsley are carried out by East Hampshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Kingsley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Kingsley. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Do you work in Kingsley?
Yes. Kingsley is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Kingsley
The fire and rescue service for Kingsley is 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. At about 42 miles from central London, Kingsley sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Kingsley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Mill Chase Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work 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 Kingsley knowing what to expect.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
