About our kitchen extract cleaning in Ockley
Across Ockley, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you are dealing with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can put it right. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Ockley? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Ockley goes well beyond the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Ockley, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
What affects the quote in Ockley
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

Other services in Ockley
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When to call us in Ockley
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ockley is Horsham Hospital, about 5.5 miles south.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Ockley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
