Kitchen extract cleaning in Maybush, done properly
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. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can help. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Maybush? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
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 Maybush goes well beyond the canopy.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Maybush gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Maybush
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Maybush is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Around Maybush, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
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, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What else we do in Maybush
What affects the quote in Maybush
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Common questions in Maybush
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Maybush?
It can, as Maybush is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which council inspects kitchens in Maybush?
Food hygiene inspections in Maybush are carried out by Southampton council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Do you work in Maybush?
Yes. Our technicians work in Maybush, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
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. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Part by part
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Maybush?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Maybush (Southampton Tudor House and Garden is about 2.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What records you will receive afterwards
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Maybush
Sea air reaches Maybush, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 27 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Maybush. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Maybush falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Newlands Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Maybush, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

The process
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. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Tell us when your site near Maybush is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
