Kitchen extract cleaning in Hailey, Oxfordshire
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Hailey? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Hailey, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hailey
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are fat running down the canopy edge and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Hailey normally mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Hailey starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
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’ve gone.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What we are called out for in Hailey
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Hailey, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Common questions in Hailey
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hailey?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hailey. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hailey during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hailey. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hailey
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In a place like Hailey, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
