Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Trench Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Trench Green, done properly
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Trench Green, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with stale cooking odours from the system and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can help. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Trench Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Trench Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Trench Green?
The local authority for Trench Green is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to Trench Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Trench Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Trench Green.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Trench Green
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Grease smells coming from the extract
A hospital like Battle Hospital, about 2.6 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
