Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Thrupp
Kitchen extract cleaning for Thrupp, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Thrupp
Any kitchen we clean in Thrupp gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Common call-outs are for cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, on extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Thrupp? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Thrupp, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Thrupp
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Thrupp?
Kitchens in Thrupp are inspected by Cherwell council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in Thrupp?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Thrupp is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. 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. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
When do you clean the extract?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Thrupp
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Common problems we fix in Thrupp
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Holy Cross or elsewhere in Thrupp, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Proof of insurance
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
