Kitchen extract cleaning in SO23: how it works
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are stale cooking odours from the system and an extract that no longer clears the smoke.
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. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- You send pictures 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
What affects the price in SO23
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why choose Duct Doctor
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Landmarks near Hyde
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around St Bede Church of England Primary School, Peter Symonds College and Leigh House Hospital, among other places. Other local landmarks include St Bartholomew's Church (under half a mile south-west), The King Alfred pub (less than half a mile south-east) and St. Cross Park (1.7 miles south). There’s a railway station in Hyde itself: Winchester station. Nearby you’ll also find Winchester Castle (0.6 miles south-west) and Royal Observer Corps Museum (0.5 miles north).

Kitchen extract cleaning across SO23: local notes
In SO23, we work in places such as Winchester, Hyde and Weeke and well beyond. We cover every place we list for SO23, 13 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across SO23 don’t have to lose a day.
Hyde: Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 0.6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Bartholomew's Church or anywhere around Hyde, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Managing agents and facilities teams in SO23
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in SO23 and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether VAT is included
What affects the quote in SO23
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
SO23: your questions answered
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long will the clean take?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is SO23 in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes SO23.
