What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Leaves Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in Leaves Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. London Fire Brigade covers Leaves Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Keston Parish Church or elsewhere in Leaves Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Down House, about 1.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Leaves Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Leaves Green
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Leaves Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Leaves Green: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Leaves Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Leaves Green as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. For a site in Leaves 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. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Leaves Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Leaves Green?
Kitchens in Leaves Green are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Leaves Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Leaves Green. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Leaves Green
A kitchen in Leaves Green builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Meridian High School or anywhere near Leaves Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Expect the work in Leaves Green to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
