Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Hurst
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Hurst? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hurst.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Hurst
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you have a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can put it right, from vertical risers, extract fans and plenums and filters onwards. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hurst, you get one team and one number for every site.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Hurst: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Hurst, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Questions from Hurst
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hurst?
That is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hurst?
That’s Wokingham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hurst. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
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.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
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.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
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. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Hurst is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
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.
