Questions from Winterbrook
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Winterbrook out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Winterbrook, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work in villages like Winterbrook?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Winterbrook
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Winterbrook, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have rancid smells from grease in the duct and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, discharge points and vertical risers onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Winterbrook? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
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.
Work in a small place like Winterbrook starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Winterbrook can be planned properly.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A planned visit to Winterbrook is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Winterbrook
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Kitchen extracts in Winterbrook
Food Standards Agency records list about 22 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 sandwich bars and takeaways in Winterbrook and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Winterbrook sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Winterbrook, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Baptist's Church, or anywhere in Winterbrook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cholsey Primary School or anywhere near Winterbrook, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What affects the quote in Winterbrook
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

When to call us in Winterbrook
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Historic houses near Winterbrook, such as Brightwell Manor about 2.7 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
