Kitchen extract cleaning in SP5: how it works
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. Typical jobs include years of baked-on grease in the ducts and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods.
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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

Kitchen extract cleaning across SP5: local notes
Across SP5, from Cowesfield Gate outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
SP5 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.
Cowesfield Gate: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 5.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cowesfield Gate (Landford Manor is about 2.3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SP5
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For kitchen extract cleaning in SP5, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What we are called out for in SP5
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
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 have gone.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
FAQs for SP5
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
