How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Loyterton
Across Loyterton, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and discharge points, and people most often call us about a system with no record of a TR19 clean and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Loyterton? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Loyterton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, and that’s where we come in.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Why it’s worth doing now in Loyterton
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. A fault that closes a site in a village like Loyterton affects everyone who depends on 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 play a part.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Loyterton
- Photo reports with every job
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- We are fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Loyterton before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Questions from Loyterton
Do you work at weekends in Loyterton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Loyterton needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Loyterton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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. Any part without access is noted.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Extract fans

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Loyterton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Loyterton, such as Belmont House and Gardens about 3.1 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Lynsted and Norton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
