Hampshire · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in West Liss, Hampshire
Need kitchen extract cleaning in West Liss? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Why it’s worth doing now in West Liss
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Liss
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Typical jobs include missing paperwork after a change of operator and stale cooking odours from the system, on extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for West Liss? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Most kitchens in West Liss fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as West Liss, 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’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in West Liss
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in West Liss?
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 3.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere as small as West Liss, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- 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.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
West Liss questions
Do you work overnight in West Liss?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in West Liss?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in West Liss. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Liss
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in West Liss
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central West Liss, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. The fire and rescue service for West Liss is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in West Liss get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in West Liss, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Liss Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
