How we handle ductwork cleaning in Crosswater
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct with no access panels and grease seeping out of the duct seams.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. 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.

Part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Run the extract fan throughout service
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.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
How we price ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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, alongside our reports.
Crosswater questions
Do you cover smaller places like Crosswater?
Yes, Crosswater is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire service covers Crosswater?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Crosswater. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. Visits are planned out of hours.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Crosswater?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Crosswater and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Crosswater
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Common problems we fix in Crosswater
Ducts in Crosswater gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Crosswater, about 4.7 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
