TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Old Windsor
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have a system with no record of a TR19 clean and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Windsor and Maidenhead.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a smaller place like Old Windsor, 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, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Old Windsor: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Old Windsor and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Old Windsor. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Old Windsor are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as King Edward VII Hospital (about 1.8 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Luke or elsewhere in Old Windsor, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Old Windsor is about 2 miles north-west of Egham, in Windsor and Maidenhead.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we’re called out for in Old Windsor
A kitchen in Old Windsor builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Frogmore House is about 1.3 miles north-west), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Old Windsor can normally be finished without a second trip.
- 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.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Why act early in Old Windsor
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why Old Windsor businesses choose us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We’re fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
