Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Milford
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. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right, from extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Milford? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
For a smaller kitchen near Milford, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Milford
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Milford
Which fire authority looks after Milford?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Milford. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Milford?
Kitchens in Milford 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: 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 email us.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. In a smaller place like Milford, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Grease, kitchens and Milford
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Milford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Fire safety in Milford 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. Food hygiene inspections in Milford are the job of Waverley 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.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Milford can normally be finished without a second trip.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
