- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.

Ductwork cleaning in Chiddingfold
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 a grease test showing the duct is overdue and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Chiddingfold, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

What affects the quote in Chiddingfold
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Somewhere as small as Chiddingfold, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Chiddingfold: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Chiddingfold?
Fire safety enforcement in Chiddingfold is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Chiddingfold?
Food hygiene inspections in Chiddingfold are carried out by Waverley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
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 you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
When to call us in Chiddingfold
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- High readings at a recent grease test
A hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
