About kitchen extract cleaning in RG23
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in RG23, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, on horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers.
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. From there, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
What you will pay
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Kitchen extract cleaning around RG23
Across RG23, from Basingstoke, Kempshott and Oakley outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Oakley: Where a hall near St John's, or anywhere in Oakley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Oakley CE Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Managing agents and facilities teams in RG23
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What we’re called out for in RG23
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Common questions in RG23
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you work in RG23?
Yes. We cover RG23 and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
