Kitchen extract cleaning in Stanmore, Hampshire
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stanmore from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stanmore, done properly
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can put it right. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Stanmore it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in Stanmore covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Around a smaller place like Stanmore, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

FAQs for Stanmore
Can you work in Stanmore outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Stanmore?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stanmore is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
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. We have been trading since 2009.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- 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 use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
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.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

When to call us in Stanmore
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Poor airflow at the canopy
A hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Why it’s worth doing now in Stanmore
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 certificate in the file answers that question. In a smaller place like Stanmore, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Why book with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Full insurance on every job
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A written report with pictures after every visit
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

How it works

All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a place like Stanmore, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stanmore: the local picture
There are about 116 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops in Stanmore and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. The fire and rescue service for Stanmore is 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 Stanmore, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Stanmore Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Luke or elsewhere in Stanmore, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
