Kitchen extract cleaning in Holmwood Corner
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Holmwood Corner covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Holmwood Corner: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Holmwood Corner, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wash or exchange the filters often
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Holmwood Corner

Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Holmwood Corner
Kitchens in Holmwood Corner get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. 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. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Holmwood Corner. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Holmwood Corner, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as The Weald CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near Holmwood station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. A fault that closes a site in a village like Holmwood Corner affects everyone who depends on it.
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 are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The timing of a visit to Holmwood Corner is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the quote in Holmwood Corner
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
