Leave it or put it right?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
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 will go through it with you.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Earlswood
No two duct runs are the same, in Earlswood or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. Common call-outs are for a duct nobody has opened in years and high readings at a recent grease test, across vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions.
In a smaller place like Earlswood, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What we’re called out for in Earlswood
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as East Surrey Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a written report and photos are included

What else we do in Earlswood
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. In a place like Earlswood, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Who inspects food businesses in Earlswood?

Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.

Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Don’t switch the extract off early
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Part by part
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
