A clean in Brasted Chart covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Kitchens in Brasted Chart, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
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’re fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. It’s better booked as a planned job in Brasted Chart than handled as an emergency.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Wash or exchange the filters often
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 to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.

Common questions in Brasted Chart
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Brasted Chart?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Brasted Chart. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Brasted Chart in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Brasted Chart, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What affects the quote in Brasted Chart
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Brasted Chart kitchens: local notes
There are about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brasted Chart, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Brasted Chart sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Brasted Chart (Quebec House is about 1.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Brasted Chart, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Brasted Chart is about 4 miles west of Sevenoaks, in Greater London.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Brasted Chart needs from us.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive

Advice
Common problems we fix in Brasted Chart
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Look out for any of the following:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tandridge Priory is the nearest hospital to Brasted Chart, about 3.3 miles west.
