Kitchen extract cleaning in North Moreton, done properly
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you are dealing with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can help. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a kitchen in or near North Moreton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in North Moreton
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What we are called out for in North Moreton
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in North Moreton, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in North Moreton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Kitchen extract cleaning around North Moreton
We cover North Moreton, about 48 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in North Moreton get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as South Moreton Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 1.2 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to North Moreton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in North Moreton and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in North Moreton
Do you work in villages like North Moreton?
Yes, North Moreton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in North Moreton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
