What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Stonecrouch
A good daily routine keeps the surfaces clean but some areas never get touched. Behind and under equipment, and high up on walls and ceilings, grease quietly builds up. Our deep clean goes after every one of those areas in one planned visit. We are often asked to deal with hardened deposits on kitchen equipment and build-up behind fryers and ovens, across ranges and ovens, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains.
Work in a small place like Stonecrouch starts with agreeing a date and access.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
Built-up grease around the cooking line is something that can burn. Leaving it adds to the fire risk in the kitchen, alongside the grease in the extract. A deep clean takes it away. A fault that closes a site in a village like Stonecrouch affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

FAQs for Stonecrouch
Do you cover smaller places like Stonecrouch?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stonecrouch is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Stonecrouch?
Kitchens in Stonecrouch are inspected by Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes, and it often makes sense. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Do not let the extract cleaning slip
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Do not let debris build up behind the line
Once it’s deep cleaned, daily cleaning goes further. Keep on top of the daily routine so build-up stays down.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start instead of chasing grime later.

Common problems we fix in Stonecrouch
Cooking releases grease with every service. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. Over weeks and months, it builds into a sticky layer.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
Historic houses such as Scotney Castle (about 1.6 miles north-west) are part of the area around Stonecrouch, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
