How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Norham Manor
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Norham Manor, you get one team and one number for every site.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Kitchens around a place like Norham Manor are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Norham Manor, not ours.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Kitchen extract cleaning around Norham Manor
Food Standards Agency records include about 89 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 18 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Norham Manor. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Oxford City council inspect food businesses in Norham Manor. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Norham Manor falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wychwood 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 Norham Manor (Holywell Manor is about 0.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Acland Hospital (about within half a mile south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Why it’s worth doing now in Norham Manor
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Norham Manor as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
Norham Manor: your questions answered
Is Norham Manor within the area you cover?
Yes. Norham Manor is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Norham Manor be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Norham Manor can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
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.
