Kitchen extract cleaning in PO16: how it works
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Typical jobs include years of baked-on grease in the ducts and poor airflow at the canopy, on extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points.
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Pricing in PO16
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Local landmarks in Fareham
In Fareham, that means kitchens and buildings near Fareham Academy, Wykeham House School and The Lord Arthur Lee pub. Also close by are St John The Evangelist (less than half a mile south-east) and St Jude's Catholic Primary School (less than half a mile south-west). There’s a railway station in Fareham itself: Fareham station. Nearby you will also find Carron Row Farm Museum (1.7 miles west) and Knowle Hospital (2 miles north). Not far away are Portsdown Hill and West of the River Alver.
Where we work in PO16
In PO16, a busy kitchen in a place such as Fareham, Portchester and Wallington and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in PO16 can keep trading. PO16 includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. Fans and cowls on sea-facing roofs are worth checking at each visit.
Fareham: Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like St Jude's Catholic Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- An undersized canopy or fan
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in PO16
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
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.
Questions from PO16
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
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 necessary.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
