Kitchen duct cleaning in Burcott
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are rancid smells from grease in the duct and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Kitchens in Burcott book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Burcott: 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Kitchen extract cleaning around Burcott
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 23 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Burcott. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Burcott is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Burcott are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Burcott, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bierton Church of England Combined School or anywhere near Burcott, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Tindal Centre, about 1.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Burcott is about 2 miles north-east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Burcott or further out, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Our Buckinghamshire coverage runs to 263 places, and Burcott is one of them. There’s also a page for Milton Keynes, roughly 14 miles from Burcott.
Work in HP22 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Whether your site is on Burcott Lane and Marshalls Lea or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover Bierton (1 mile north-west), Broughton (1 mile south-east), Broughton Crossing (1 mile south-west), Turnfurlong (2 miles south-west) and Bedgrove (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as High Wycombe (14 miles south), Chesham (11 miles south-east), Buckingham (15 miles north-west), Amersham (13 miles south-east), Princes Risborough (8 miles south) and Haydon Hill (3 miles west).
What’s near Burcott
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Bell pub, Aylesbury Grammar School and Stocklake Park Community School. Burcott’s nearest station is Aylesbury station, roughly 1.9 miles south-west. Other landmarks nearby include Tindal Centre (1.1 miles west) and Friars Square (1.8 miles south-west). The countryside around Burcott includes Haddington Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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 is where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Burcott are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Burcott: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Burcott?
Yes, Burcott is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Burcott outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Burcott needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
