When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Abinger Hammer
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Abinger Hammer? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a kitchen in or near Abinger Hammer, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The timing of a visit to Abinger Hammer is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

What we are called out for in Abinger Hammer
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
A kitchen near Gomshall station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Abinger Hammer
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
FAQs for Abinger Hammer
Will you come out to Abinger Hammer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Abinger Hammer?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
