Common questions in Pilley
Do you cover smaller places like Pilley?
Yes, Pilley is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Pilley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Pilley. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Pilley
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you’re dealing with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and poor airflow at the canopy, we can help. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Pilley normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Pilley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The timing of a visit to Pilley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Pilley: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Pilley is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Pilley. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Pilley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Pilley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Historic houses near Pilley, such as Beaulieu Palace House about 4.4 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Saint Nicholas Chapel, or anywhere in Pilley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Pilley

Managing agents and facilities teams in Pilley
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- 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.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
