Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Food debris behind equipment can attract pests. Clearing it out is a core part of a deep clean.
Lower Willingdon questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Lower Willingdon?
The local authority for Lower Willingdon is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you work in Lower Willingdon outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Lower Willingdon keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?
That’s often where it’s dirtiest, so it’s a priority. We’ll agree what’s movable before any work starts.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?
After a look at the kitchen, from photos or on site, we send you a fixed quote. Get in touch to arrange it and the quote is normally with you within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What affects the quote in Lower Willingdon
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- The inside of the extract system
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

- Fryers and grills

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Lower Willingdon, so let us know how to reach it.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a 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 work begins.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
- Keep the extract running while you cook
A deep-cleaned kitchen is easier to keep clean. Keep on top of the daily routine, and the next deep clean is lighter work.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
