Kitchen extract cleaning in Frimley, done properly
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Typical jobs include ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, on extract fans, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Frimley? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Frimley covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Many kitchens in a town like Frimley were fitted into buildings built for something else, so duct runs can be awkward, with bends, long horizontal sections and too few access panels. Where the duct cannot be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Frimley: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Frimley?
In Frimley, it’s Surrey Heath council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Frimley?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Frimley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Frimley, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Why it’s worth doing now in Frimley
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Nothing in a duct, damper or fan improves by being left.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Frimley?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
For kitchens close to Frimley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Before the visit, a few photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan the work in Frimley.
- 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.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system

Kitchen extract cleaning in Frimley: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 18 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Frimley. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Frimley sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Frimley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
