Stubbings kitchen extract cleaning
We cover Stubbings for kitchen extract cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.

- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stubbings
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. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can help, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points onwards. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Stubbings? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Stubbings: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Stubbings 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

FAQs for Stubbings
Which fire service covers Stubbings?
That is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can school kitchens in Stubbings be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Stubbings, the Food Standards Agency lists about 17 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What affects the quote in Stubbings
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For kitchen extract cleaning in Stubbings, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

What else we do in Stubbings
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stubbings.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
Advice
Why act early in Stubbings
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Stubbings kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stubbings. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Stubbings sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Stubbings are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. James the Less or elsewhere in Stubbings, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 2.2 miles north-west), access may need planning.
