Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Great Burgh
Any kitchen we clean in Great Burgh gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Great Burgh, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Great Burgh gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why act early in Great Burgh
An overdue clean in Great Burgh is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. In a smaller place like Great Burgh, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Questions from Great Burgh
Do you work at weekends in Great Burgh?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Burgh needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Great Burgh?
Food hygiene inspections in Great Burgh are carried out by Reigate and Banstead council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Great Burgh can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Kitchen extract cleaning in Great Burgh: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 11 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Great Burgh and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Great Burgh falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council inspect food businesses in Great Burgh. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark or elsewhere in Great Burgh, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Shawley Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Epsom General Hospital about 1.9 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
