Kitchen extract cleaning in Wexham Street
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can put it right, from vertical risers, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Wexham Street? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Wexham Street: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like Wexham Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Grease, kitchens and Wexham Street
Look up Wexham Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wexham Street. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Wexham Street is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Wexham Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Wexham Park Hospital, about 0.8 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Khalsa Secondary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Wexham Street?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wexham Street (Windsor Castle is about 4.3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a village or hamlet like Wexham Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Questions from Wexham Street
Can the work in Wexham Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Wexham Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wexham Street included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Wexham Street?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the baffle filters clean
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
