TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Molesey
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Molesey, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
What happens on the day
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 photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We plan the journey to Molesey and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Molesey
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Molesey, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and missing paperwork after a change of operator, on discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Molesey it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Kitchens around a place like Molesey are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
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, and we’re fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
Leave it or put it right?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Molesey at a time that suits you.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
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.
Molesey questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Molesey?
Fire safety enforcement in Molesey is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Molesey?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Molesey needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Kitchen extracts in Molesey
Food Standards Agency data counts about 62 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 14 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Molesey, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Molesey is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Elmbridge council inspect food businesses in Molesey. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Molesey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run a café or takeaway near Hampton Court station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Orchard Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
