Barford kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites in Barford and across Surrey. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Barford
Across Barford, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you are dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Barford, you get one team and one number for every site.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Barford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have 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.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Barford.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Barford

Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Barford
Look up Barford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Barford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Barford is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Barford. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Barford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Barford is Chase Community Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-west. For schools such as St John's CofE Aided Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Barford
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
