Kitchen extract cleaning across KT7: what to expect
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in KT7, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. We are often asked to deal with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across canopies and hoods, discharge points and vertical risers.
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How we quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Where we work in KT7
In KT7, a busy kitchen in a place such as Esher, Molesey and Seething Wells and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in KT7, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Thames Ditton: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Nicholas or elsewhere in Thames Ditton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Thames Ditton is Tolworth Hospital, about 2 miles east.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Aftercare tips
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
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What we are called out for in KT7
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in KT7
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
