Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thorns Beach
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Thorns Beach? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Thorns Beach goes.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Thorns Beach
Which council inspects kitchens in Thorns Beach?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Thorns Beach. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work at weekends in Thorns Beach?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Thorns Beach doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
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.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like Thorns Beach, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Kitchen extracts in Thorns Beach
The coast is only about 1 mile from Thorns Beach. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. In Thorns Beach, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Thorns Beach 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.
A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 4.6 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Thorns Beach is about 5 miles east of Lymington, in Hampshire. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Thorns Beach and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Thorns Beach among them. We also work in Southampton, about 11 miles from Thorns Beach.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Thorns Beach?
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Thorns Beach (Beaulieu Palace House is about 3.8 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Before booking anyone
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Wash or exchange the filters often
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What else we do in Thorns Beach
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Thorns Beach and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Why act early in Thorns Beach
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Thorns Beach as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. With notice, the visit to Thorns Beach can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
