Stone in Oxney kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Stone in Oxney. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep grease collection points emptied
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Stone in Oxney
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Stone in Oxney questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Stone in Oxney?
In Stone in Oxney, it’s Ashford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stone in Oxney?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Will I get a certificate after the 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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Stone in Oxney?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Stone in Oxney
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stone in Oxney
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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Stone in Oxney, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Stone in Oxney and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stone in Oxney is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
