Our kitchen extract cleaning service in HP18
Across HP18, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and grease drips onto cooking equipment.
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
What affects the price in HP18

How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Around Long Crendon
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Eight Bells Public House, Long Crendon School and Church of St Mary. For rail, the closest station is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.3 miles east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Dinton Castle (4.7 miles east) and Thame Community Hospital (2.4 miles south-east). The countryside around Long Crendon includes Snakemoor.
Where we work in HP18
In HP18, we work in places such as Aylesbury, Haydon Hill and Long Crendon and well beyond. Every place on our HP18 list (26 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across HP18 don’t have to lose a day.
Long Crendon: Bursars and site managers at schools such as Long Crendon School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Long Crendon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What we are called out for in HP18
In HP18, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Poor airflow at the canopy
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Why act early?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans.

- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in HP18
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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.
HP18 questions
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Why do insurers care about 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.
