Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in North Crawley
Each extract duct we take on in North Crawley goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. We’re often asked to deal with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and duct runs that can’t be reached, on horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
For a kitchen in or near North Crawley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
North Crawley questions
Can the work in North Crawley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which fire service covers North Crawley?
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for North Crawley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Grease, kitchens and North Crawley
Kitchens in North Crawley get their food hygiene inspections from Milton Keynes council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in North Crawley falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like North Crawley CofE School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Linford Manor is about 4.8 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How the visit works

In a small place like North Crawley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
