How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Kitchen extract cleaning in East Clandon
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in East Clandon give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We are often asked to deal with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for East Clandon? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Somewhere as small as East Clandon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common questions in East Clandon
Can the work in East Clandon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in East Clandon keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in East Clandon?
Kitchens in East Clandon are inspected by Guildford council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Is East Clandon in your area?
Yes. East Clandon is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.

Advice
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in East Clandon
There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across East Clandon and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. In East Clandon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. East Clandon sits within the area of 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.

When to call us in East Clandon
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Hatchlands Park, about 0.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near East Clandon; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods

Why deal with it now?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in East Clandon as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
