Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Horsley
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers multi-storey ducts, attenuators and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork that has never been cleaned and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct.
Kitchens around a place like East Horsley are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Why act early in East Horsley
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair

FAQs for East Horsley
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in East Horsley during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of East Horsley. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in East Horsley?
Food hygiene inspections in East Horsley are carried out by Guildford council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
East Horsley kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in East Horsley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. East Horsley sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in East Horsley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Hatchlands Park, about 2.3 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near East Horsley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in East Horsley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In a place like East Horsley, we fit the visit around your hours.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.

Related advice
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in East Horsley
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
For schools such as The Raleigh School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
