Kitchen extract cleaning in KT13: how it works
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in KT13, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and fat running down the canopy edge, on plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs.
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. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- 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.
What you will pay
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why choose Duct Doctor
- Full insurance on every job
- Each visit written up, with photos
- We diagnose before we treat

Kitchen extracts across KT13
From Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge and St George's Hill to its smaller places, KT13 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Weybridge: If you cook for passing trade around Weybridge station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near United Reform Church or elsewhere in Weybridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Why it fails
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Stale cooking odours from the system
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate

Common questions in KT13
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
