Why act early in Stratfield Mortimer
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stratfield Mortimer is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Stratfield Mortimer
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about grease smells coming from the extract and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. When a restaurant in Stratfield Mortimer asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
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.
Somewhere as small as Stratfield Mortimer, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Stratfield Mortimer kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stratfield Mortimer. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Stratfield Mortimer is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Stratfield Mortimer, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mortimer St Mary's C.E. Junior School or anywhere near Stratfield Mortimer, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Mortimer station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What we are called out for in Stratfield Mortimer
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
What we are most often called out for:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Stale cooking odours from the system
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 2.7 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What affects the quote in Stratfield Mortimer
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
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.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Stratfield Mortimer can be planned properly.
- 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 we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
