How kitchen extract cleaning works in KT15
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning across KT15: local notes
From Chertsey, Addlestone and New Haw to its smaller places, KT15 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in KT15 and beyond.
Addlestone: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's or elsewhere in Addlestone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Runnymede Hospital, about 1.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in KT15
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. 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.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in KT15
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Why do insurers care about 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 far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
