When to call us in Shamley Green
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Luke’s Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shamley Green, about 3.9 miles north.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Shamley Green
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. We’re often asked to deal with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and rancid smells from grease in the duct, across extract fans, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Shamley Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a village or hamlet like Shamley Green, 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, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, as 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.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Common questions in Shamley Green
Do you work in villages like Shamley Green?
Yes, Shamley Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Shamley Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Shamley Green is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Grease, kitchens and Shamley Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Shamley Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Shamley Green are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Shamley Green. 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.
For schools such as Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Shamley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Advice
Part by part
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. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
