Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Foxbury
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Foxbury, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you’re dealing with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Foxbury it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Foxbury, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why it’s worth doing now in Foxbury
If your kitchen in Foxbury is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fully insured
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

Foxbury questions
Can you work in Foxbury outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What do you need to know about parking in Foxbury?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
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. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Foxbury
Look up Foxbury on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 96 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 31 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Foxbury. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. The fire and rescue service for Foxbury is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Foxbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Queen Mary's Hospital, about 0.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In Foxbury, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
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 us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Foxbury and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Foxbury?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Eltham Palace is about 2.6 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they recommend a next date
