What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in New Copse
New Copse, about 49 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Fire safety in New Copse falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in New Copse, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near New Copse, such as Bentworth Hall about 0.9 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Kitchen extract cleaning in New Copse
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and people most often call us about extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for New Copse? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
We clean every reachable part of the system in New Copse: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like New Copse, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in New Copse
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
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.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to New Copse.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in New Copse?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
For schools such as Medstead Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
FAQs for New Copse
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in New Copse?
New Copse is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in New Copse?
Yes, New Copse is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, 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.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Part by part
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
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
