How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Compton
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Common call-outs are for grease drips onto cooking equipment and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, on discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Compton, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Surrey.
Most kitchens in Compton fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near Compton, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the baffle filters clean
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Compton?
A kitchen in Compton builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as South Farnham School or anywhere near Compton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What affects the quote in Compton
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Why act early in Compton
If your kitchen in Compton is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Compton
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Full insurance on every job

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Compton
The FSA’s data shows about 22 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs registered in Compton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Compton are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Compton 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Marys Parish Church or elsewhere in Compton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 1.8 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Compton is about 1 mile east of Farnham, in Surrey.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Compton
Which fire service covers Compton?
Compton is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in Compton?
That is Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Compton. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you work in Compton?
Yes. We cover Compton and the rest of Surrey, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere as small as Compton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
