About our ductwork cleaning in Beare Green
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Beare Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Why it’s worth doing now in Beare Green
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Planning a trip to Beare Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
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 work begins.

When to call us in Beare Green
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
What we are most often called out for:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
For kitchens close to Holmwood station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

FAQs for Beare Green
Which environmental health team covers Beare Green?
Kitchens in Beare Green are inspected by Mole Valley council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will you come out to Beare Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Beare Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Only while we’re working, and we work around you. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.

Grease, kitchens and Beare Green
Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Beare Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Beare Green sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Beare Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Weald CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.

Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
