Ductwork cleaning in Ewhurst
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, 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. Typical jobs include an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and a rancid smell from the extract duct, on attenuators, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers.
In a small place like Ewhurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Ewhurst
Can you work in Ewhurst outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire service covers Ewhurst?
Ewhurst is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Ewhurst is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- 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.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Why it’s worth doing now in Ewhurst
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. If the system at a site near Ewhurst fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure filters are seated properly
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Grease, kitchens and Ewhurst
Kitchens in Ewhurst get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Ewhurst 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Ewhurst, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
