Kitchen duct cleaning in Tuesley
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. 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 extract fans, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Tuesley, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Tuesley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has 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 are fully insured.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tuesley
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist's Church, or anywhere in Tuesley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Kitchen extract cleaning around Tuesley
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tuesley. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Kitchens in Tuesley get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Tuesley is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A kitchen near Milford (Surrey) station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milford Hospital about under half a mile south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What else we do in Tuesley
What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Tuesley
Do you cover smaller places like Tuesley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tuesley included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Tuesley during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Tuesley. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Tuesley?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- 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
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
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 photos, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Tuesley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, 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.
