About our kitchen extract cleaning in Brick Hill
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Brick Hill? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Brick Hill: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Brick Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Brick Hill: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Brick Hill. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Brick Hill. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Brick Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Surrey Heath council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Botleys Mansion is about 4 miles east), access may need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Valley End CofE Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere in Brick Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Brick Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What affects the quote in Brick Hill
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. A planned visit to Brick Hill is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Brick Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Brick Hill?
Yes, Brick Hill is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Brick Hill?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Brick Hill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brick Hill
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works 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 visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
