Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Teynham Street
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease smells coming from the extract. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Teynham Street? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a village or hamlet like Teynham Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere as small as Teynham Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Places near Teynham Street
Also in Teynham Street
What we are called out for in Teynham Street
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Teynham Street, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
For schools such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Teynham Street
The coast is only about 2 miles from Teynham Street. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Teynham Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Teynham Street. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Teynham Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For kitchens close to Teynham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. With notice, the visit to Teynham Street can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
