Kitchen duct cleaning in George Green
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Typical jobs include fat running down the canopy edge and poor airflow at the canopy, across discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for George Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What affects the quote in George Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Kitchen extract cleaning in George Green: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 42 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 33 takeaways and sandwich shops across George Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s Slough council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in George Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. George Green sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Wexham Park Hospital, about 1.1 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Wexham Court Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in George Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in George Green
Can you work in George Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in George Green?
The local authority for George Green is Slough council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Can you come out in an emergency?
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is a quote from pictures 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.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to George Green is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like George Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
