How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Rookley
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, across extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Rookley? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
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.
Somewhere as small as Rookley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Rookley
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere like Rookley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Rookley questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Rookley?
The local authority for Rookley is Isle of Wight 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.
Do you work in villages like Rookley?
Yes. Rookley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Grease, kitchens and Rookley
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs across Rookley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Rookley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Rookley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Chillerton and Rookley Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Rookley, such as Sheat Manor about 1 mile west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like Whitecroft Hospital, about 1.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What’s near Rookley
Typical jobs here are in premises near Chequers Inn. The closest station to Rookley is Shanklin station, roughly 4.7 miles east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Carisbrooke Castle (2.7 miles north-west) and Whitecroft Hospital (1.6 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Stenbury Down and Alverstone Mead.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
