What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Rowner
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Rowner? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Rowner: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a smaller place like Rowner, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Kitchen extracts in Rowner
Sea air reaches Rowner, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. 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 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rowner. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Rowner is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bridgemary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Gosport War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Rowner, about 2.3 miles south-east.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Everything the job in Rowner needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Rowner
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rowner?
In Rowner, it’s Gosport council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Rowner?
Yes, Rowner is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long will the clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What we are called out for in Rowner
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. 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:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Matthew's or elsewhere in Rowner, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A planned visit to Rowner fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
