Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newton Longville
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with fat dripping from the ductwork and high readings at a recent grease test, across multi-storey ducts, attenuators and vertical risers.
In a small place like Newton Longville, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Questions from Newton Longville
Which fire authority looks after Newton Longville?
Fire safety enforcement in Newton Longville is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Newton Longville?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Newton Longville needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Newton Longville?
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Newton Longville as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bletchley Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Newton Longville, about 1.9 miles north-east.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Newton Longville can be planned properly.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What happens if it’s left?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
