Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Burgh Heath
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you are dealing with a duct clean needed for an insurer and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can put it right, from vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs onwards.
In a small place like Burgh Heath, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Burgh Heath: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Burgh Heath?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Burgh Heath keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Burgh Heath?
Yes. Burgh Heath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much notice should we give?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Burgh Heath
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, so the base is one of our test points.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere like Burgh Heath, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.

When to call us in Burgh Heath
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
For schools such as Aberdour School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Somewhere as small as Burgh Heath, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Diarise the next duct clean
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Grease, kitchens and Burgh Heath
Look up Burgh Heath on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 35 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 takeaways in and around Burgh Heath, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Kitchens in Burgh Heath get their food hygiene inspections from Reigate and Banstead council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Burgh Heath is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
