Ductwork cleaning in Bisley

The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you’re dealing with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and attenuators onwards.

In a smaller place like Bisley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part

Vertical risers

In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.

Bends and transitions

Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bisley

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

When it’s something else

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Ductwork that was poorly designed
  • Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
  • Duct sections that need replacing

If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What the work covers

  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Attenuators
  • Bends and junctions
  • Vertical risers
  • Access panels
  • Multi-storey ducts

Kitchen extracts in Bisley

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs, bars and clubs across Bisley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Bisley. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Bisley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Bisley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Brookwood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bisley, about 1.1 miles south-east. For schools such as Bisley CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bisley

TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Bisley than wait for a failure.

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

The process

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Bisley when you book.

  1. We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
  2. Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
  3. Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
  4. Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
  5. Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Ask for a quote

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
  • Make sure filters are seated properly
  • Check readings when the menu changes
  • Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork

A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.

Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.

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 will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Common questions in Bisley

Which council inspects kitchens in Bisley?

That is Surrey Heath council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bisley. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

Which fire service covers Bisley?

It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bisley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

How long does it take to clean extract ducts?

Allow a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?

After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
