Kitchen extraction cleaning in North Weston
Need kitchen extract cleaning in North Weston? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
What we’re called out for in North Weston
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. 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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Poor airflow at the canopy
For schools such as Lord Williams's School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they recommend a next date
Kitchen extract cleaning in North Weston, done properly
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in North Weston, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a kitchen in or near North Weston, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Questions from North Weston
Do you cover smaller places like North Weston?
Yes, North Weston is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in North Weston be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in North Weston keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to North Weston.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Why it’s worth doing now in North Weston
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Somewhere as small as North Weston, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
