Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Remenham Hill
One call covers kitchen extract cleaning in Remenham Hill: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Remenham Hill.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Remenham Hill
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and rancid smells from grease in the duct. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Remenham Hill usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Remenham Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Remenham Hill
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, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Greenlands is about 1.7 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit

What affects the quote in Remenham Hill
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work

Common questions in Remenham Hill
Do you work at weekends in Remenham Hill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Remenham Hill needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Remenham Hill in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Remenham Hill. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Remenham Hill

Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s Wokingham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Remenham Hill. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Remenham Hill falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Rupert House School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Remenham Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
