About our ductwork cleaning in Abinger Bottom
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork that has never been cleaned and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, on attenuators, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts.
Work in a small place like Abinger Bottom starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Abinger Bottom and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
Common problems we fix in Abinger Bottom
Wherever the kitchen is, in Abinger Bottom or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Abinger Bottom, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Abinger Bottom.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Abinger Bottom is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Abinger Bottom. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
