Common problems we fix in St Peter's
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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
A kitchen near Broadstairs station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Kitchen extract cleaning in St Peter's
Any kitchen we clean in St Peter's gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you’re dealing with grease drips onto cooking equipment and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in St Peter's? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a smaller place like St Peter's, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Kitchen extract cleaning in St Peter's: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from St Peter's. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 109 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 40 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of St Peter's. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. St Peter's sits within the area of Kent 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.
Where a hall near Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle, or anywhere in St Peter's, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (about 1.5 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Because the survey comes first, a visit to St Peter's can typically be finished without a second trip.
- 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.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in St Peter's
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
FAQs for St Peter's
Does the sea air around St Peter's make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in St Peter's than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in St Peter's?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers St Peter's. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, 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.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
