Kitchen extraction cleaning in Micheldever
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Micheldever? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Micheldever, done properly
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can put it right, from vertical risers, extract fans and discharge points onwards. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Micheldever? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a kitchen in or near Micheldever, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Micheldever.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
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.
Advice
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Micheldever
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Micheldever?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Micheldever?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Micheldever included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Micheldever
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When to call us in Micheldever
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Micheldever, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Micheldever, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
