How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Alfold Crossways
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. Common call-outs are for an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease smells coming from the extract, across discharge points, vertical risers and plenums and filters. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Alfold Crossways? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
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.
In a small place like Alfold Crossways, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem 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.
What affects the quote in Alfold Crossways
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
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.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
How it works
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. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Visits to a village like Alfold Crossways are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Questions from Alfold Crossways
Can the work in Alfold Crossways be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Alfold Crossways needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Alfold Crossways?
In Alfold Crossways, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, 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.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
