TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in North Ascot
Specialist kitchen extract cleaning for North Ascot: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in North Ascot
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in North Ascot normally mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
A clean in North Ascot covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a smaller place like North Ascot, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in North Ascot
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in North Ascot

Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

When to call us in North Ascot
In North Ascot, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Heatherwood Hospital is the nearest hospital to North Ascot, about 0.5 miles south-east.

What happens on the day

On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Around North Ascot, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system

Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you cover North Ascot?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes North Ascot.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
