Essex · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stisted, Essex
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stisted from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stisted
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can put it right. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Stisted normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Stisted: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Stisted starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Stisted.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stisted
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Stisted, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Stisted
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stisted?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stisted. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Stisted be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Why act early in Stisted
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. With notice, the visit to Stisted can be fitted around your bookings and events.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
