About our kitchen extract cleaning in Clanfield
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and people most often call us about proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and fat running down the canopy edge. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Clanfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Clanfield before we set off.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Grease, kitchens and Clanfield
There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Clanfield, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Clanfield falls to Oxfordshire 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. In Clanfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Stephen, or anywhere in Clanfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Clanfield (Kelmscott Manor is about 2.7 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

When to call us in Clanfield
A kitchen in Clanfield builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
A hospital like Longworth Hospital, about 3.8 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
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 cannot be reached.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods

Common questions in Clanfield
Can school kitchens in Clanfield be cleaned in the holidays?

Will you come out to Clanfield?
Yes, Clanfield is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
