How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Rotherfield Peppard, done properly
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease smells coming from the extract. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Rotherfield Peppard usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Rotherfield Peppard goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Rotherfield Peppard, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Common questions in Rotherfield Peppard
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Rotherfield Peppard?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Rotherfield Peppard. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you work in Rotherfield Peppard outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Rotherfield Peppard
Look up Rotherfield Peppard on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Rotherfield Peppard. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Rotherfield Peppard is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Rotherfield Peppard are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Rotherfield Peppard, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Rotherfield Peppard, such as Greys Court about 1.4 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Battle Hospital about 5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rotherfield Peppard
If your kitchen in Rotherfield Peppard is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the baffle filters clean
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The timing of a visit to Rotherfield Peppard is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.

- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
