Ductwork cleaning in Castle Green
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. If you are dealing with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, access panels and bends and junctions onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Castle Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Questions from Castle Green
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Castle Green?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Castle Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Castle Green keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
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.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.

What we’re called out for in Castle Green
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
A hospital like Brookwood Hospital, about 1.6 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Ductwork cleaning around Castle Green
Look up Castle Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 23 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 takeaways in and around Castle Green, 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. Castle Green is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Castle Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere in Castle Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as St Lawrence CofE (Aided) Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
