Ductwork cleaning in Dormansland
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. If you are dealing with duct runs that can’t be reached and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, access panels and horizontal duct runs onwards.
Somewhere as small as Dormansland, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a village like Dormansland are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Dormansland
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.
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 the report can go to both.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions

Why act early in Dormansland
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 Dormansland, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Dormansland: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Dormansland during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Dormansland, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Dormansland?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Dormansland. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
Ductwork cleaning in Dormansland: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways in and around Dormansland, up to about a mile and a half out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Dormansland. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dormansland. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Dormansland, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Commuter trade near Dormans station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Victoria Hospital is the nearest hospital to Dormansland, about 1.9 miles south.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
