Kitchen extract cleaning in SO32: how it works
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction.
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
What you will pay
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why choose Duct Doctor
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Local landmarks in Bishop's Waltham
In Bishop's Waltham, that means kitchens and buildings near The Crown Hotel, Bishop's Waltham Junior School and Swanmore College of Technology and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Botley station, roughly 3.3 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Bishop's Waltham Museum (under half a mile south-west) and Moorgreen Hospital (5.1 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Bishops Waltham Branch LNR and Beacon Hill.
Kitchen extracts across SO32
In SO32, we work in places such as Winchester, Bishop's Waltham and Boorley Green and well beyond. Every place on our SO32 list (27 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
We work across London and the South East, and SO32 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
Bishop's Waltham: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Bishop's Waltham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bishop's Waltham Junior School or anywhere near Bishop's Waltham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep grease collection points emptied
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a survey comes first
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
SO32 questions
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you work in SO32?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes SO32.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
