What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps 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, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Kitchen extract cleaning in New Yatt, done properly
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are grease drips onto cooking equipment and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in New Yatt normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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 New Yatt 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
New Yatt kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across New Yatt and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. New Yatt is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in New Yatt. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like North Leigh Church of England (Controlled) School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around New Yatt (Minster Lovell Hall is about 3.4 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

What happens if it’s left?

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
When to call us in New Yatt
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. 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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in New Yatt, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Questions from New Yatt
Can school kitchens in New Yatt be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of New Yatt. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to New Yatt?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, New Yatt included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive 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.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
The whole system: 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.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
How long will the clean take?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in New Yatt before we set off.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
