Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Fyfield
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fyfield
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. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. Kitchens in Fyfield book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Fyfield goes.
Work in a small place like Fyfield starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fyfield
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Somewhere as small as Fyfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere as small as Fyfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your photos 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Fyfield
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Fyfield?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which council inspects kitchens in Fyfield?
That is Vale of White Horse council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Fyfield. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover Fyfield?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Fyfield included.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Fyfield
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Fyfield
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fyfield. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Fyfield is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Vale of White Horse council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fyfield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Abingdon Preparatory School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Fyfield, such as Appleton Manor about 2.2 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
