About kitchen extract cleaning in HP14
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in HP14, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, on horizontal duct runs, discharge points and plenums and filters.
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- 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.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How we quote
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
- Trading since 2009
- Every job surveyed first
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Around Stokenchurch
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Four Horseshoes pub, Stokenchurch Methodist Church and Stokenchurch Primary School. Stokenchurch’s nearest station is Saunderton station, about 3.4 miles east of the centre. For a walk, there’s Bald Hill and Yoesden.
Kitchen extracts across HP14
From Stokenchurch, Lane End and Naphill to its smaller places, HP14 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across HP14 don’t have to lose a day.
Stokenchurch: Church and community hall kitchens, near Stokenchurch Methodist Church or anywhere around Stokenchurch, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Historic houses near Stokenchurch, such as West Wycombe Park House about 4.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
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.
Why it fails
A kitchen in HP14 builds up grease in the same places as any other: 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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in HP14
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
HP14 questions
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
