TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Steep
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Steep, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can put it right, from extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Steep goes well beyond the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Steep, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Steep
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Stale cooking odours from the system
School kitchens, at schools like Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the visit works
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. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Steep, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Kitchen extract cleaning in Steep: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Steep. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Steep is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Steep get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 1.5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Steep, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions from Steep
Which fire authority looks after Steep?
Fire safety enforcement in Steep is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Steep?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Steep. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Steep and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
