About our kitchen extract cleaning in Over Wallop
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can put it right, from extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points onwards. When a restaurant in Over Wallop asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Over Wallop, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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 are fully insured.

What else we do in Over Wallop
Why act early in Over Wallop
An overdue clean in Over Wallop is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Over Wallop run smoothly.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Over Wallop
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wallop Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
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.
Over Wallop questions
Which fire service covers Over Wallop?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Over Wallop. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which environmental health team covers Over Wallop?
The local authority for Over Wallop is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
