How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mashbury
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across discharge points, plenums and filters and extract fans. Kitchens in Mashbury book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
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.
Work in a small place like Mashbury 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When to call us in Mashbury
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Broomfield Hospital about 3.3 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether they recommend a next date
Grease, kitchens and Mashbury
We cover Mashbury, about 29 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. The fire and rescue service for Mashbury is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Mashbury Church, or anywhere in Mashbury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Mashbury is about 5 miles north-west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Across the CM1 area, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites. We cover 644 places across Essex, large and small.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Extract fans

- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mashbury run smoothly.
- 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.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mashbury
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Mashbury is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Mashbury
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fully insured

Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
