How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Erriottwood
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Typical jobs include a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Erriottwood? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a village or hamlet like Erriottwood, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Erriottwood
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Erriottwood
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Erriottwood
At about 40 miles from central London, Erriottwood sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Erriottwood. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 3.4 miles south-east), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Erriottwood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School or anywhere near Erriottwood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Erriottwood is about 4 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, 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.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Erriottwood knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
FAQs for Erriottwood
Who is the fire and rescue service for Erriottwood?
Fire safety enforcement in Erriottwood is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Erriottwood?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Erriottwood can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
