What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Mountfield
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Mountfield, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with fat running down the canopy edge and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Mountfield? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in Mountfield

What we work on in Mountfield
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
How the job changes from site to site
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 cannot.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A planned visit to Mountfield is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Mountfield
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Vinehall School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include

- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

Kitchen extract cleaning around Mountfield
Food hygiene inspections in Mountfield are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Mountfield. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere around Mountfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Durhamford Manor is about 2 miles east), access may need planning.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Mountfield can be planned properly.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
