Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Nalderswood
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Nalderswood, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
A clean in Nalderswood covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Nalderswood, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

When to call us in Nalderswood
A kitchen in Nalderswood builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Burys Court School or anywhere near Nalderswood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Nalderswood can be planned properly.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A fault that closes a site in a village like Nalderswood affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Why Nalderswood businesses choose us

Grease, kitchens and Nalderswood
Kitchens in Nalderswood get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Nalderswood 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Nalderswood is East Surrey Hospital, about 3.7 miles north-east. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Nalderswood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions from Nalderswood
Which council inspects kitchens in Nalderswood?
That is Mole Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Nalderswood. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

Yes. We cover Nalderswood and across Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
