Our kitchen extract cleaning service in Surrey

Across Surrey, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer.

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 job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Surrey

Across Surrey, from Guildford, Woking and Camberley outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. 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 Surrey don’t have to lose a day.

Guildford: School kitchens, at schools like Sandfield Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Guildford is Mount Alvernia Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:

The number of sites or systems
Parking and loading at the site
What state the system is in
A single visit or a regular plan

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What to send for a quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

The times we could work without disrupting the site
Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The postcode and the type of business
The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What the work involves, part by part

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.

Grease filters

A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Surrey

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Looking after it afterwards

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Give the canopy a daily wipe
Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans

The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.

Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix

Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:

Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
A grease trap that needs emptying

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Surrey

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

What accreditations do you hold?

We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.

What do you do with what you remove?

We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

Which parts of the extract do you clean?

A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.

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. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
