Kitchen extract cleaning in North Camp, done properly
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. 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 discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are grease drips onto cooking equipment and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in North Camp usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a smaller place like North Camp, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extract cleaning around North Camp
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 90 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 35 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central North Camp. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Environmental health officers from Rushmoor council inspect food businesses in North Camp. 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 North Camp 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.
For kitchens close to North Camp station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark or elsewhere in North Camp, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in North Camp
A kitchen in North Camp builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Frimley Park Hospital is the nearest hospital to North Camp, about 2.7 miles north.

Common questions in North Camp
Can school kitchens in North Camp be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 22 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of North Camp, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in North Camp?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in North Camp keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
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.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Everything the job in North Camp needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Related advice
What affects the quote in North Camp
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
