Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Woolmer
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers discharge points, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease smells coming from the extract. Most calls from Woolmer come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Woolmer: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Woolmer
We cover Woolmer, about 44 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Fire safety in Woolmer falls to 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 1.7 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Woolmer is about 2 miles south of Bordon, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Woolmer, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted.

Woolmer: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Woolmer?
Yes, Woolmer is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Woolmer after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Woolmer can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Woolmer.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
When to call us in Woolmer
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Matthew's Church, or anywhere in Woolmer, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the price is fixed
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A fault that closes a site in a village like Woolmer affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
