How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Stone Corner
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Stone Corner starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Common problems we fix in Stone Corner
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Around Stone Corner, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Stone Corner
Can you come to Stone Corner after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Stone Corner?
The local authority for Stone Corner is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stone Corner
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
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.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stone Corner, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
