Hampshire · Kitchen extract cleaning
Lovedean kitchen extract cleaning
Our technicians work in Lovedean on kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lovedean
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re often asked to deal with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and discharge points. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Lovedean start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
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 the same readings after the clean show the result.
Somewhere as small as Lovedean, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lovedean
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Lovedean as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Lovedean are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Lovedean
Look up Lovedean on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways across Lovedean and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Lovedean falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Lovedean are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 4.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Woodcroft Primary tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What a clean won’t put right

- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design

Lovedean questions
Do you work overnight in Lovedean?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Lovedean does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Lovedean?
Yes, Lovedean is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
