Kitchen extract cleaning in Beare Green, done properly
Any kitchen we clean in Beare Green gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. 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. We are often asked to deal with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and extract fans. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Beare Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Somewhere as small as Beare Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

What else we do in Beare Green
Common problems we fix in Beare Green
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or anywhere around Beare Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What affects the quote in Beare Green
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Beare Green before we set off.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Beare Green: the local picture
Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Beare Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Beare Green is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Weald CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you cook for passing trade around Holmwood station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Common questions in Beare Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Beare Green?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Beare Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Beare Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Beare Green keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What happens if it’s left?
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. If the system at a site near Beare Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
