Ductwork Cleaning in Cramhurst
Ductwork cleaning in Cramhurst from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cramhurst.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote

Ductwork cleaning in Cramhurst, done properly
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. Common call-outs are for grease leaking from duct joints and duct runs that can’t be reached, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels.
For a kitchen in or near Cramhurst, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep to the interval on the report
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Questions from Cramhurst
Which environmental health team covers Cramhurst?
Food hygiene inspections in Cramhurst are carried out by Waverley council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Cramhurst within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
What we are called out for in Cramhurst
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist's Church, or anywhere in Cramhurst, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
What affects the quote in Cramhurst
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
