Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Surrey Canal
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are grease smells coming from the extract and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Surrey Canal? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Surrey Canal: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a London area like Surrey Canal, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Surrey Canal
Which fire authority looks after Surrey Canal?
Surrey Canal is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can school kitchens in Surrey Canal be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 77 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Surrey Canal. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What affects the quote in Surrey Canal
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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 we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in Surrey Canal can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Surrey Canal
Food Standards Agency records include about 93 pubs, bars and clubs and about 14 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Surrey Canal and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London Fire Brigade covers Surrey Canal. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Surrey Canal, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Southwark council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ilderton Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as New Cross Hospital (about 0.5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a café or takeaway near South Bermondsey station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:

- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Surrey Canal is usually out of hours.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
