Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Barwell
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Barwell in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 12 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Barwell, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you work in Barwell outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you cover Barwell?
Yes. We cover Barwell and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Barwell
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can help. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Barwell, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Greater London.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Barwell is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When to call us in Barwell
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you cook for passing trade around Chessington South station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Barwell.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Barwell
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:

- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
