Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Boughton Lees
For kitchen extract cleaning in Boughton Lees, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Boughton Lees, done properly
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Boughton Lees, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, on vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Boughton Lees typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Boughton Lees: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Boughton Lees, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Boughton Lees: your questions answered
Can you come to Boughton Lees after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Boughton Lees needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Boughton Lees?
Boughton Lees is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Boughton Lees?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Boughton Lees
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What we’re called out for in Boughton Lees
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Godinton House, about 3.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Boughton Lees; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

- Proof of accreditation you can verify
