Ductwork cleaning in Brewer Street
Not every duct has enough access panels. 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. Typical jobs include an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and stale grease odours from the duct, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and bends and junctions.
For a kitchen in or near Brewer Street, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Faulty fire dampers
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Brewer Street
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Brewer Street is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Brewer Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Ductwork cleaning in Brewer Street: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brewer Street. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Brewer Street. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Brewer Street are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Bletchingley Village Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Caterham Dene Hospital is the nearest hospital to Brewer Street, about 2.2 miles north.
Brewer Street is about 2 miles south of Caterham, in Surrey.

Common questions in Brewer Street
Who inspects food businesses in Brewer Street?
The local authority for Brewer Street is Tandridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Brewer Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Brewer Street?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We plan the clean when you are not cooking. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes. We will point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that cannot be safely reached is recorded.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Brewer Street.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for 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.
