Weybridge kitchen extract cleaning
Our technicians work in Weybridge on kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Weybridge
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Weybridge, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have rancid smells from grease in the duct and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can put it right, from vertical risers, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. Most calls from Weybridge come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Weybridge goes.
Many kitchens in a town like Weybridge were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Sections we can’t reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Sites in a town like Weybridge rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. 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. Grease, dust and wear all build up with time.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and certificates.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.

FAQs for Weybridge
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Weybridge?
In Weybridge, it’s Elmbridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Weybridge?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Weybridge. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Common problems we fix in Weybridge
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. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A hospital like No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether VAT is included
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Weybridge
The FSA’s data shows about 23 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs registered in Weybridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Weybridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Elmbridge council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Weybridge. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as St James CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near United Reform Church or anywhere around Weybridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
