About our kitchen extract cleaning in Ravenstone
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. Common call-outs are for ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease smells coming from the extract, across plenums and filters, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. Most calls from Ravenstone come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Ravenstone: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Ravenstone, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ravenstone?
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Ravenstone, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Ravenstone questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ravenstone?
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ravenstone. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which environmental health team covers Ravenstone?
The local authority for Ravenstone is Milton Keynes council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.

Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Ravenstone is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Planning a trip to Ravenstone ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The timing of a visit to Ravenstone is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

- A broken extract fan that won’t run
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
