About kitchen extract cleaning in Buckinghamshire

Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. We’re often asked to deal with fat running down the canopy edge and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.

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.
Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

What you’ll pay

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Ask for a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. 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.

Near you in Aylesbury

We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Buckinghamshire UTC, Stocklake Park Community School and The Derby Arms Public House and the streets around them. You’ll also find Bearbrook Combined School (0.5 miles west) and Church of St Mary (less than half a mile north). Aylesbury has its own railway station: Aylesbury station. Well-known places in the area include Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (within half a mile east) and Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (within half a mile north). Open spaces near Aylesbury include Coombe Hill.

Kitchen extracts across Buckinghamshire

From Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham to its smaller places, Buckinghamshire has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

Buckinghamshire 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, wherever it is in Buckinghamshire.

Aylesbury: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital about under half a mile north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Aylesbury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the quote in Buckinghamshire

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

How easy every part is to reach
What state the system is in
The scale of the work
Site rules, permits and inductions

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Helping us quote

You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:

Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Any previous report or certificate
Where the site is and what kind of site it is

If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Buckinghamshire, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. 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 typically follows within one working day.

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Buckinghamshire

Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.

Look out for any of the following:

Missing paperwork after a change of operator
A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Grease smells coming from the extract
Grease drips onto cooking equipment

Different parts, different methods

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

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’re happy to quote for all of it.

Common questions in Buckinghamshire

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What happens to the waste?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.

What do you need from me for a quote?

A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
