Kitchen extract cleaning in Middlegreen
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We are often asked to deal with fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, on extract fans, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Middlegreen, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Middlegreen goes.
In a small place like Middlegreen, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Middlegreen questions
Can you work in Middlegreen outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Middlegreen keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Middlegreen?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Middlegreen?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Middlegreen.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Middlegreen?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you run a café or takeaway near Langley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they’re fully insured
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Middlegreen
The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Middlegreen. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Middlegreen. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Middlegreen is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Langley Academy Primary, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary the Virgin Church, or anywhere in Middlegreen, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
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 have gone.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
