Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newdigate
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. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. We are often asked to deal with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Newdigate covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Newdigate covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Newdigate, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Newdigate knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Newdigate
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Newdigate and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Food hygiene inspections in Newdigate are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Newdigate. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like Langley Green Hospital, about 4.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Newdigate, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

FAQs for Newdigate
Which environmental health team covers Newdigate?
Kitchens in Newdigate are inspected by Mole Valley council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Newdigate in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Newdigate. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Is Newdigate in your area?
Yes. We cover Newdigate and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
