Flexford: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Flexford?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Flexford can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Flexford?
Kitchens in Flexford are inspected by Guildford council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Extract fan cleaning in Flexford
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Flexford, typically within one working day. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and people most often call us about fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
Work in a small place like Flexford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 play a part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Flexford is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Flexford
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Flexford is calmer for everyone.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Flexford kitchens: local notes
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Flexford. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Flexford. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Flexford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Wyke Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
