Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Green Street Green
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have grease smells coming from the extract and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can help. When a restaurant in Green Street Green asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Kitchens in Green Street Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Green Street Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 35 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 17 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Green Street Green. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Kitchens in Green Street Green get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Green Street Green falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Green Street Green is Orpington Hospital, about 0.8 miles north-east. School kitchens, at schools like Green Street Green Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Green Street Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Green Street Green questions
Can you work in Green Street Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Green Street Green needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Green Street Green?
Kitchens in Green Street Green are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Green Street Green as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. For a site in Green Street Green, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Green Street Green
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 on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
