Kitchen extract cleaning in Broughton, Buckinghamshire
We cover Broughton for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Kitchen duct cleaning in Broughton
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. Common call-outs are for a kitchen taken over without any extract records and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and extract fans. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Broughton covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Broughton covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a smaller kitchen near Broughton, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The report gives a recommended 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.
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.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Broughton: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Broughton. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broughton. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Broughton sits within the area of Buckinghamshire 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Broughton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tindal Centre is the nearest hospital to Broughton, about 1.4 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bierton Church of England Combined School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Landmarks near Broughton
Around Broughton, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Dog House, Stocklake Park Community School and Aylesbury Grammar School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Aylesbury station, roughly 2 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Friars Square (1.9 miles west) and Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (1.9 miles west).

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Broughton and across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Broughton questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Broughton out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Broughton. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Is Broughton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
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.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Broughton is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

How it works

- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
