How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Banstead
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Banstead, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Surrey.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Banstead gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Banstead
Look up Banstead on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 38 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops in Banstead and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council inspect food businesses in Banstead. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Banstead sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A kitchen near Banstead station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hospital like Banstead Hospital, about 0.9 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Banstead is about 3 miles west of Coulsdon, in Surrey. Sites in Banstead get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, and Banstead is one of them. You can also see our page for London, about 13 miles away.
Every address in SM7 is covered for kitchen extract cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Streets in the area include High Street, Glenfield Road and Highview Path, and we cover them all for kitchen extract cleaning. Banstead sits on or near the A217 and A2022, which makes travel easy for kitchen extract cleaning. If your site is just outside Banstead, we cover Woodmansterne (1 mile south-east), Shanklin Village (2 miles north), Chipstead (2 miles south-east), Little Woodcote (2 miles north-east) and Woodcote Green (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Epsom (3 miles west), Horley (10 miles south), Redhill (6 miles south), Ewell (3 miles north-west), Reigate (6 miles south) and Walton-on-Thames (10 miles north-west).
Near you in Banstead
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Woolpack pub, Fames Rough and Priory Preparatory School, among other places. The closest station to Banstead is Banstead station, roughly 0.7 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Walton on the Hill (3.6 miles south-west) and The Ashley Centre (3 miles west). The countryside around Banstead includes Colley Hill and Cuddington Meadows.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You won’t find a price list here, 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 we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
Why act early in Banstead
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Around Banstead, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Banstead questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Banstead?
That is Reigate and Banstead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Banstead. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in Banstead?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Banstead
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Stale cooking odours from the system
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Banstead, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether VAT is included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What records you’ll receive afterwards

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a site near Banstead, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
