Ductwork cleaning in Dora's Green, done properly
If the ducts in Dora's Green haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. If you’re dealing with gaps where access panels were never fitted and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can help, from vertical risers, bends and junctions and access panels onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Dora's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Dora's Green run smoothly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Kitchen extracts in Dora's Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs across Dora's Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Dora's Green. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Dora's Green are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Crondall Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 4.1 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Dora's Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What we are called out for in Dora's Green
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Dora's Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Why act early in Dora's Green
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Somewhere as small as Dora's Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Dora's Green
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Dora's Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Dora's Green. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you work in Dora's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Dora's Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we are done.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
