Kitchen duct cleaning in Sway
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Sway, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a smaller place like Sway, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Everything the job in Sway needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Grease, kitchens and Sway
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sway. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Sway sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sway. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Luke's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Sway station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

FAQs for Sway
Which environmental health team covers Sway?
In Sway, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Sway in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Sway, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sway
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why act early in Sway
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Sway as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
