Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Chiddingfold
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can help. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Chiddingfold? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
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 the same readings after the clean show the result.
For a kitchen in or near Chiddingfold, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. 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. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Chiddingfold and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Common questions in Chiddingfold
Can the work in Chiddingfold be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Chiddingfold needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Chiddingfold?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
When to call us in Chiddingfold
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Chiddingfold is Haslemere and District Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west.
Comparing quotes
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What paperwork you get at the end
Kitchen extract cleaning around Chiddingfold
At about 35 miles from central London, Chiddingfold sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Chiddingfold 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Chiddingfold, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Teresa of Avila Church or elsewhere in Chiddingfold, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Chiddingfold
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
