- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Christmas Pie before we set off.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Christmas Pie
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers access panels, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and people most often call us about heavy grease at the base of a riser and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
Somewhere as small as Christmas Pie, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why act early in Christmas Pie
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Christmas Pie is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common problems we fix in Christmas Pie
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Christmas Pie, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Christmas Pie kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Christmas Pie. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Christmas Pie, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Christmas Pie is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Puttenham CofE Infant School or anywhere near Christmas Pie, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Guildford Hospital is the nearest hospital to Christmas Pie, about 2.6 miles east.

Questions from Christmas Pie
Can the work in Christmas Pie be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Christmas Pie?
Fire safety enforcement in Christmas Pie is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
