How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Ewhurst Green
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and discharge points onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ewhurst Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Ewhurst Green goes.
In a small place like Ewhurst Green, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we’re called out for in Ewhurst Green
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Ewhurst Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they carry

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
What affects the quote in Ewhurst Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Questions from Ewhurst Green
Can the work in Ewhurst Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Ewhurst Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Ewhurst Green?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ewhurst Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
