When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Ductwork cleaning in Egham Wick
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, 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. If you have a grease test showing the duct is overdue and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can put it right, from bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts onwards.
In a small place like Egham Wick, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Egham Wick questions
Which fire service covers Egham Wick?
Egham Wick is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who inspects food businesses in Egham Wick?
The local authority for Egham Wick is Runnymede council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Only while we’re working, and we work around you. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Egham Wick?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Egham Wick
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the visit 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 it goes on the report too. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Egham Wick knowing what to expect.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

When to call us in Egham Wick
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
A hospital like King Edward VII Hospital, about 3.8 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of insurance
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Egham Wick
There are about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Egham Wick, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Egham Wick sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Egham Wick. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Frogmore House is about 3.6 miles north), access may need planning.

Part by part
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
