Pamber Heath kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning across Pamber Heath and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report gives a recommended 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 is not missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Pamber Heath, done properly
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Kitchens in Pamber Heath book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Pamber Heath starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Pamber Heath: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Pamber Heath?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Pamber Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long will the clean take?
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.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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 needed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Pamber Heath
Food Standards Agency records list about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pamber Heath. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Pamber Heath sits within the area of 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. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pamber Heath. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Luke's Church or elsewhere in Pamber Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Pamber Heath, such as The Vyne about 3.8 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Silchester Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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 as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pamber Heath and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
