Kitchen extract cleaning in Creekmouth
Any kitchen we clean in Creekmouth gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. We are often asked to deal with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, on plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Creekmouth, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Greater London.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Kitchens in Creekmouth, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Why deal with it now?
Any food business in Creekmouth can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Creekmouth
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Creekmouth.
- 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning around Creekmouth
Food Standards Agency records list about 58 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Creekmouth, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Creekmouth sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as George Carey Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A kitchen near Barking Riverside station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Questions from Creekmouth
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Creekmouth?
Fire safety enforcement in Creekmouth is handled by London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Creekmouth after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Creekmouth can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Do you work in Creekmouth?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Creekmouth.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Creekmouth
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Creekmouth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
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. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
