Kitchen extract cleaning in Church Hanborough, done properly
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Church Hanborough? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Most kitchens in Church Hanborough fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Church Hanborough, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- You send photos 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Church Hanborough
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Church Hanborough?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will you come out to Church Hanborough?
Yes. Church Hanborough is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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. Any part without access is noted.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you do not lose a service.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Church Hanborough?
In Church Hanborough, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
What we are most often called out for:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hanborough Manor CofE School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A planned visit to Church Hanborough is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
