TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Great Kimble
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are missing paperwork after a change of operator and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Great Kimble? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a village or hamlet like Great Kimble, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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 are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

What else we do in Great Kimble
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Questions from Great Kimble
Do you cover smaller places like Great Kimble?
Yes. Great Kimble is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Great Kimble be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Great Kimble can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
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.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Great Kimble rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Great Kimble?
In Great Kimble, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Stoke Mandeville Hospital is the nearest hospital to Great Kimble, about 3.4 miles north.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If they look at the system before pricing

Great Kimble kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs across Great Kimble and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Great Kimble falls to Buckinghamshire 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. Food hygiene inspections in Great Kimble are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Great Kimble, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A kitchen near Little Kimble station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a small place like Great Kimble, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
