Why deal with it now?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Sewardstone
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Sewardstone, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can help, from extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Sewardstone? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Sewardstone goes.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Sewardstone, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Sewardstone: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 10 pubs and bars in and around Sewardstone, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Sewardstone get their food hygiene inspections from Epping Forest council. 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 Sewardstone falls to London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sewardstone is St Michaels Hospital, about 3.5 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Prince of Wales Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Sewardstone
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Sewardstone
Does London parking affect a job in Sewardstone?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sewardstone?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Sewardstone. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
How long will the clean take?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Before any visit in Sewardstone, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What we are called out for in Sewardstone
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Sewardstone (Forty Hall is about 2.8 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
