Kitchen extract cleaning in Mottisfont, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Mottisfont, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Mottisfont, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Mottisfont, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
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.
Common questions in Mottisfont
Do you work overnight in Mottisfont?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Mottisfont needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Mottisfont?
Mottisfont is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Mottisfont?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Mottisfont, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Mottisfont
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered within about 1.5 miles of central Mottisfont. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Mottisfont, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Mottisfont is 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.
Historic houses near Mottisfont, such as Mottisfont Abbey about 0.2 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 4 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Mottisfont, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What else we do in Mottisfont
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
