How we handle ductwork cleaning in Bowlhead Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, access panels and bends and junctions onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Bowlhead Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Bowlhead Green?
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Bowlhead Green is as much a fire risk as in any building. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Bowlhead Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common questions in Bowlhead Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bowlhead Green?
The local authority for Bowlhead Green is Waverley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bowlhead Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Bowlhead Green is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
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.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and the area is cleaned down before we leave.

- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
