Leave it or put it right?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Bramley than wait for a failure.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Ductwork cleaning in Bramley, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with high readings at a recent grease test and a rancid smell from the extract duct, across horizontal duct runs, attenuators and vertical risers.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Bramley gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We plan the journey to Bramley and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Bramley
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on the size of the system, 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.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bends and junctions

FAQs for Bramley
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Bramley out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bramley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bramley?
Fire safety enforcement in Bramley is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What’s 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.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.

Ductwork cleaning in Bramley: the local picture
Look up Bramley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Bramley, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Food hygiene inspections in Bramley are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Bramley is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Church of Holy Trinity or anywhere around Bramley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Mount Alvernia Hospital about 2.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Bramley
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Chilworth Manor is about 2.1 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a survey comes first
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Leave a way through to the access panels
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
