Kitchen extract cleaning in Fulmer
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Typical jobs include missing paperwork after a change of operator and poor airflow at the canopy, across vertical risers, extract fans and canopies and hoods. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Fulmer, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Fulmer goes.
In a village or hamlet like Fulmer, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Fulmer questions
Is Fulmer within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Fulmer included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Fulmer after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
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 are fully insured.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Other services in Fulmer
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
You leave with a 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 isn’t missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Slough. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere as small as Fulmer, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Fulmer: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars in and around Fulmer, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fulmer sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Fulmer are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Fulmer Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wexham Park Hospital (about 2.2 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Fulmer, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
