Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pennington
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Pennington give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across canopies and hoods, discharge points and vertical risers. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Pennington, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Pennington goes well beyond the canopy.
Kitchens around a place like Pennington are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
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.

Grease, kitchens and Pennington
Pennington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Pennington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 40 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 15 sandwich bars and takeaways across Pennington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Pennington. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mark or anywhere around Pennington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Priestlands School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the quote in Pennington
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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 we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
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. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Pennington?
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pennington, about 1.4 miles north.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We plan the journey to Pennington and bring what the job is likely to need.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Common questions in Pennington
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Pennington?
It can. Pennington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Pennington?
Pennington is in the area of 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.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
