Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stoke-by-Nayland
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Stoke-by-Nayland, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can put it right. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stoke-by-Nayland? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Work in a small place like Stoke-by-Nayland starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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 current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stoke-by-Nayland before we set off.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

Common questions in Stoke-by-Nayland
Which fire authority looks after Stoke-by-Nayland?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stoke-by-Nayland. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stoke-by-Nayland?
In Stoke-by-Nayland, it’s Babergh council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
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.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.

When to call us in Stoke-by-Nayland
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
