About kitchen extract cleaning in SM7
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract.
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How we quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why choose Duct Doctor
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fully insured
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What’s near Banstead
Typical jobs here are in premises near Priory Preparatory School, Church of All Saints and The Woolpack pub, among other places. Nearby too are St Anne's Catholic Primary School (within half a mile south-west), The Beacon School (0.9 miles south-west) and Fames Rough (1.6 miles south). The closest station to Banstead is Banstead station, roughly 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.

Where we work in SM7
In SM7, a busy kitchen in a place such as Sutton, Banstead and Nork and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Banstead: For kitchens close to Banstead station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hospital like Banstead Hospital, about 0.9 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Why it fails
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. 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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
Want a quote for kitchen extract cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Common questions in SM7
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in SM7?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
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 any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you cover SM7?
Yes. We work in SM7 and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
