Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dora's Green
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you are dealing with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, we can put it right, from extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Dora's Green, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Most kitchens in Dora's Green fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Dora's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Common problems we fix in Dora's Green
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Dora's Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include

Why it’s worth doing now in Dora's Green
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Dora's Green is calmer for everyone.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Dora's Green
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Dora's Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Dora's Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Dora's Green are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Dora's Green is 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.

FAQs for Dora's Green
Which fire service covers Dora's Green?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Dora's Green. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Dora's Green?
Yes. Dora's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Dora's Green can be planned properly.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What else we do in Dora's Green
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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 kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
