How kitchen extract cleaning works in SL7
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in SL7, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, on extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- 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.
How we quote
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why choose Duct Doctor
- Photo reports with every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Marlow: School kitchens, at schools like Holy Trinity Church of England (Aided) School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Congregational Church, or anywhere in Marlow, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
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 pictures, so records stay tidy.
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- If they look at the system before pricing
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SL7
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
Common questions in SL7
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
