Grease, kitchens and Cramhurst
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Cramhurst and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Cramhurst are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Cramhurst sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist's Church or elsewhere in Cramhurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Cramhurst, such as Loseley Park about 4.4 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. For kitchens close to Milford (Surrey) station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Cramhurst
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Cramhurst give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and rancid smells from grease in the duct, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and discharge points. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Cramhurst? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Cramhurst covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Cramhurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Visits to a village like Cramhurst are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.

Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cramhurst
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fault that closes a site in a village like Cramhurst affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Cramhurst
Do you work at weekends in Cramhurst?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Cramhurst doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cramhurst?
In Cramhurst, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What accreditations do you hold?
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’re fully insured.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
