How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Glebe Farm
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Glebe Farm, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include a system with no record of a TR19 clean and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, across extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters. When a restaurant in Glebe Farm asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Around a smaller place like Glebe Farm, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a smaller place like Glebe Farm, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Glebe Farm
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milton Keynes University Hospital about 2.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

When it’s something else

Glebe Farm questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Glebe Farm?
Fire safety enforcement in Glebe Farm is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Glebe Farm?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
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.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
