Hinchley Wood: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hinchley Wood?
Hinchley Wood is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can school kitchens in Hinchley Wood be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 17 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hinchley Wood. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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 paperwork comes with a kitchen extract 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.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Hinchley Wood
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. 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. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are often asked to deal with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and poor airflow at the canopy, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and discharge points. Kitchens in Hinchley Wood book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a smaller kitchen near Hinchley Wood, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
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.

Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Hinchley Wood than wait for a failure.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Kitchen extracts in Hinchley Wood
Look up Hinchley Wood on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 59 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hinchley Wood. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Hinchley Wood are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Hinchley Wood 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.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tolworth Hospital about 2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hinchley Wood
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hinchley Wood and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Hinchley Wood, not ours.
- You send pictures 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload

For kitchen extract cleaning in Hinchley Wood, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
