About our ductwork cleaning in Alfold
Each extract duct we take on in Alfold goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. We are often asked to deal with gaps where access panels were never fitted and duct runs with no cleaning record, across access panels, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Alfold questions
Which environmental health team covers Alfold?
Kitchens in Alfold are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work overnight in Alfold?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Alfold can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
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.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Ductwork cleaning around Alfold
Alfold sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Alfold, about 33 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
In and around Alfold, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we can’t reach goes on the report. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Alfold, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
Why it’s worth doing now in Alfold
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Somewhere as small as Alfold, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
