Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crow's Green
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Crow's Green give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can help. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Crow's Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a small place like Crow's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
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 won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
FAQs for Crow's Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Crow's Green?
