Kitchen extract cleaning in North Charford
Across North Charford, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and vertical risers, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy or filters and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in North Charford, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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 small place like North Charford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

Common questions in North Charford
Will you come out to North Charford?
Yes, North Charford is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in North Charford?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in North Charford. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
What we’re called out for in North Charford
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
What we are most often called out for:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in North Charford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether a survey comes first
North Charford kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in North Charford are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. North Charford is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to North Charford is Salisbury District Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Breamore House is about 2.8 miles west), access may need planning.
North Charford is in Hampshire. From the centre of North Charford to the outskirts, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. North Charford is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby (15 miles or so).
All of SP6 is within our area for kitchen extract cleaning, from busy streets to back roads.

What’s near North Charford
Typical jobs here are in premises near Woodfalls Inn and The Trafalgar School at Downton and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Salisbury District Hospital (5.8 miles north-west) and Downton Moot Close (1.6 miles north-west).
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to North Charford run smoothly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Why act early in North Charford
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
