What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Anthill Common
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Anthill Common, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can help. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Anthill Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Anthill Common
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business

The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Anthill Common.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out

- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters

More services for Anthill Common
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Anthill Common?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
A hospital like Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 4.2 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Anthill Common: your questions answered
Can the work in Anthill Common be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Anthill Common needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Anthill Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Anthill Common?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Why act early in Anthill Common
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. With notice, the visit to Anthill Common can be fitted around your bookings and events.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
