Kitchen extract cleaning in Fulbrook, done properly
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. If you have cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help, from vertical risers, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Fulbrook? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Fulbrook: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Fulbrook, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Fulbrook, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fulbrook rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What we’re called out for in Fulbrook
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Where a hall near Church of Saint James the Great, or anywhere in Fulbrook, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Fulbrook: your questions answered
Will you come out to Fulbrook?
Yes, Fulbrook is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Fulbrook?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Fulbrook can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Grease, kitchens and Fulbrook
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses in and around Fulbrook, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Fulbrook falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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. In Fulbrook, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Minster Lovell Hall, about 4.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Fulbrook; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Burford Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
