Why deal with it now?
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 certificate in the file answers that question. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ripley affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ripley? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Ripley goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Ripley
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ripley. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. The fire and rescue service for Ripley is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ripley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalen or elsewhere in Ripley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ripley is Woking Community Hospital, about 2.8 miles west.

What else we do in Ripley
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a village or hamlet like Ripley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ripley
In Ripley, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ripley Court School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
