Kitchen duct cleaning in Badshot Lea
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Badshot Lea, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Common call-outs are for years of baked-on grease in the ducts and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, across horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Badshot Lea, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Common questions in Badshot Lea
Can school kitchens in Badshot Lea be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 21 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Badshot Lea. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Badshot Lea within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Badshot Lea is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Badshot Lea kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 38 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Badshot Lea. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Badshot Lea. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Badshot Lea is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Badshot Lea is Fleet Community Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St George's Church or elsewhere in Badshot Lea, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere as small as Badshot Lea, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Why act early in Badshot Lea
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. A planned visit to Badshot Lea is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
When to call us in Badshot Lea
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Badshot Lea Village Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
