The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Rotherwick.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Rotherwick
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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Common call-outs are for cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and grease drips onto cooking equipment, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Kitchens in Rotherwick book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a village or hamlet like Rotherwick, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What affects the quote in Rotherwick
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Common problems we fix in Rotherwick
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Whitewater Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry

Food Standards Agency records include about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Rotherwick and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Rotherwick are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
