Grafham: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Grafham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Grafham?
Kitchens in Grafham are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Grafham?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Grafham
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you have grease drips onto cooking equipment and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Grafham covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Grafham covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
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. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Grafham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

When to call us in Grafham
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Historic houses near Grafham, such as Chilworth Manor about 3.8 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Grafham
Look up Grafham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Grafham, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Kitchens in Grafham get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley 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. Fire safety in Grafham falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 3.7 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Grafham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
