Ductwork cleaning in Burpham
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached and fat dripping from the ductwork, on access panels, horizontal duct runs and attenuators.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Burpham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Around Burpham, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Burpham: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Burpham?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which environmental health team covers Burpham?
That is Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Burpham. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

What we’re called out for in Burpham
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped, and build-up speeds up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Spirit or elsewhere in Burpham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone

Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Burpham hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Burpham kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 26 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Burpham. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Burpham. 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. Fire safety in Burpham falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Luke’s Hospital is the nearest hospital to Burpham, about 1.5 miles south. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as George Abbot School or anywhere near Burpham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
