How kitchen extract cleaning works in Bracknell Forest
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and grease dripping from the canopy or filters.
We turn up 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 the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
What you will pay
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Kitchen extracts across Bracknell Forest
From Bracknell, Sandhurst and Wick Hill to its smaller places, Bracknell Forest has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across Bracknell Forest don’t have to lose a day.
Bracknell: Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bracknell is Pinewood Hospital, about 2.6 miles south-west. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ranelagh School or anywhere near Bracknell, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Common problems we fix in Bracknell Forest
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Fat running down the canopy edge
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Bracknell Forest. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why act early?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.

Common questions in Bracknell Forest
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
How long will the clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
