What affects the quote in Thorley Street
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Thorley Street
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Thorley Street, you get one team and one number for every site.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Thorley Street questions
Who inspects food businesses in Thorley Street?
Food hygiene inspections in Thorley Street are carried out by Isle of Wight council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Thorley Street?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Thorley Street. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you work in Thorley Street?
Yes. We cover Thorley Street and the rest of the Isle of Wight, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
What we are called out for in Thorley Street
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Mottistone Manor, about 3.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Thorley Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before you book anyone
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
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.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What else we do in Thorley Street
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Thorley Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Grease, kitchens and Thorley Street
Sea air reaches Thorley Street, 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 food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Thorley Street. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Kitchens in Thorley Street get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near St. Swithin's Church, or anywhere in Thorley Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
