About our kitchen extract cleaning in Brooks Green
Any kitchen we clean in Brooks Green gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, across horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Brooks Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Brooks Green covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, 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, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Brooks Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
Brooks Green questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brooks Green?
Kitchens in Brooks Green are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will you come out to Brooks Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
Common problems we fix in Brooks Green
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
What we are most often called out for:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Barns Green Primary School or anywhere near Brooks Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
What happens if it’s left?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to 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. In a small place like Brooks Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Brooks Green kitchens: local notes
Brooks Green is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Brooks Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horsham Hospital (about 4.7 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
