TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Froyle
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Typical jobs include an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and fat running down the canopy edge, across extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Lower Froyle covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Lower Froyle goes well beyond the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Froyle, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
When to call us in Lower Froyle
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
A hospital like Alton Community Hospital, about 4.8 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Froyle
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. If the system at a site near Lower Froyle fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- We are fully insured
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Questions from Lower Froyle
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lower Froyle?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Lower Froyle. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Lower Froyle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
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. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What do I get after the 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.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What happens on the day
We turn up 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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lower Froyle.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
