TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Pilley Bailey
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Pilley Bailey, usually within one working day. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can put it right. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Pilley Bailey covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Most kitchens in Pilley Bailey fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Pilley Bailey before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Why act early in Pilley Bailey
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A fault that closes a site in a village like Pilley Bailey affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Common questions in Pilley Bailey
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Pilley Bailey?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Pilley Bailey. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Does the sea air around Pilley Bailey make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Pilley Bailey gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
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 many insurers ask for proof of it.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Pilley Bailey
Pilley Bailey is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Pilley Bailey and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. In Pilley Bailey, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Pilley Bailey (Beaulieu Palace House is about 4 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Saint Nicholas Chapel, or anywhere in Pilley Bailey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
