Our kitchen extract cleaning service in DA7
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in DA7 give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit.
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in DA7 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.

Common questions in DA7
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
