Aaron's Hill questions
Which environmental health team covers Aaron's Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Aaron's Hill are carried out by Waverley council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Aaron's Hill?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Aaron's Hill. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you work in Aaron's Hill?
Yes. Aaron's Hill is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes. We will point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
About our ductwork cleaning in Aaron's Hill
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. If you have readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Aaron's Hill are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Aaron's Hill at a time that suits you.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a place like Aaron's Hill are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Aaron's Hill kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 15 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Aaron's Hill. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Aaron's Hill is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Aaron's Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley 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.
A kitchen near Godalming station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 1.1 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we’re called out for in Aaron's Hill
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mark's Church and Community Centre or anywhere around Aaron's Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
