Ductwork cleaning in Temple
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. Typical jobs include duct runs with no cleaning record and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, on vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and attenuators.
Work in a small place like Temple starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What else we do in Temple
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, so the base is one of our test points.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Temple hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Temple is calmer for everyone.

When to call us in Temple
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Temple as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 0.9 miles west), access may need planning.
What your quote should include

- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Kitchen extracts in Temple
Food Standards Agency records list about 44 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Temple. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Food hygiene inspections in Temple are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Temple is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital about 1.7 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Temple, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What’s near Temple
Around Temple, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Sir William Borlase's Grammar School and The Bull Inn, among other places. The closest station to Temple is Marlow station, roughly 1.6 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Marlow Community Hospital (1.7 miles north-east) and Marlow Museum (1.2 miles north-east). Not far away are Carpenter's Wood and Weycock Hill.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
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.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Temple
Do you cover smaller places like Temple?
Yes. Temple is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can a school canteen extract in Temple be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Temple, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Temple?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Temple can be planned properly.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
