We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.

Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ewhurst? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Somewhere as small as Ewhurst, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Ewhurst
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ewhurst
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the baffle filters clean
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.

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. Ewhurst, about 28 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Ewhurst, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Ewhurst: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Ewhurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Ewhurst?
Kitchens in Ewhurst are inspected by Waverley 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 happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself is not law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What affects the quote in Ewhurst
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Ewhurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ewhurst.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
