Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stoke Poges
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Stoke Poges, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and extract fans. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Stoke Poges typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Stoke Poges gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. 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.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a place like Stoke Poges, we fit the visit around your hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the quote in Stoke Poges
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What else we do in Stoke Poges
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Stoke Poges: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stoke Poges?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stoke Poges. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Stoke Poges?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stoke Poges is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Stoke Poges?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
