Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Oxshott
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 are dealing with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Oxshott, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Kitchens around a place like Oxshott 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between 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.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters

Kitchen extract cleaning around Oxshott
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Oxshott. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Elmbridge council inspect food businesses in Oxshott. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Oxshott 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.
Commuter trade near Oxshott station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Royal Kent CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Andrew's Church, or anywhere in Oxshott, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Oxshott
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We plan the journey to Oxshott and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
