Kitchen extract cleaning in Duckett's Green
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Common call-outs are for a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. Kitchens in Duckett's Green book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
A clean in Duckett's Green covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Duckett's Green is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What else we do in Duckett's Green
When to call us in Duckett's Green
In Duckett's Green, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
School kitchens, at schools like St John Vianney RC Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Duckett's Green: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Duckett's Green be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Duckett's Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 47 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Duckett's Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Duckett's Green 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 one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How long will the clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Duckett's Green is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Plenums and filters
