How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Collier Row
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Collier Row, typically within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Collier Row start: a system that is 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.
In a London area like Collier Row, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
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’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
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.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Collier Row?
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Collier Row, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
A hospital like Oldchurch Hospital, about 1.5 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Collier Row: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Collier Row during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 17 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Collier Row. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who inspects food businesses in Collier Row?
Food hygiene inspections in Collier Row are carried out by Havering council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Collier Row in your area?
Yes. Collier Row is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Collier Row?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Collier Row kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 155 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 38 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Collier Row. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. London Fire Brigade covers Collier Row. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Collier Row (Hare Hall is about 1.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rise Park Infant School or anywhere near Collier Row, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Collier Row is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. A building in Collier Row may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
