What we’re called out for in Ewell
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Ewell as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
If you cook for passing trade around Ewell West station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Ductwork cleaning in Ewell, done properly
Ductwork in Ewell is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. If you’re dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can help, from access panels, attenuators and vertical risers onwards.
Most kitchens in a town like Ewell cannot close for a day, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep to the interval on the report
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What else we do in Ewell
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. We’ll recommend where they should go.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Ductwork cleaning around Ewell
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Ewell. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Ewell get their food hygiene inspections from Epsom and Ewell council. 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. Fire safety in Ewell falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Ewell, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Clement's Catholic Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Ewell, and where the van can go.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Questions from Ewell
Can school kitchens in Ewell be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Ewell, the Food Standards Agency lists about 20 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Ewell?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
