Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ash Green
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers vertical risers, access panels and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are duct runs that can’t be reached and duct runs with no cleaning record.
In a village or hamlet like Ash Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in Ash Green
Do you work overnight in Ash Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Ash Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Ash Green?
That’s Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ash Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is Ash Green in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Ash Green.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Want a quote for ductwork cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Why deal with it now?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

When something else is needed
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
When to call us in Ash Green
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Ash Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere like Ash Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. We’ll recommend where they should go.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
