About kitchen extract cleaning in CT11
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. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include years of baked-on grease in the ducts and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, across extract fans, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What you’ll pay
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.
Why choose Duct Doctor
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fully insured
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Landmarks near Ramsgate

Where we work in CT11
From Ramsgate, St Lawrence and Newington to its smaller places, CT11 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in CT11 and beyond. CT11 includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.
Ramsgate: A hospital like Ramsgate General Hospital, about 0.5 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For kitchens close to Ramsgate station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Why act early?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
What we’re called out for in CT11
In CT11, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in CT11
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in CT11, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
CT11: your questions answered
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
