Kitchen extract cleaning in Farley Green
Across Farley Green, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. We’re often asked to deal with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Farley Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Farley Green goes.
In a village or hamlet like Farley Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Farley Green
Do you work overnight in Farley Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Farley Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Farley Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Farley Green are carried out by Guildford council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Managing agents and facilities teams in Farley Green
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Why it’s worth doing now in Farley Green
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Farley Green as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. With notice, the visit to Farley Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

The fire and rescue service for Farley Green is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Farley Green are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael, or anywhere in Farley Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

When to call us in Farley Green
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. 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. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Farley Green is St. Luke’s Hospital, about 4.3 miles north-west.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Farley Green can be planned properly.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
