Felcourt ductwork cleaning
Looking for ductwork cleaning in Felcourt? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
What we’re called out for in Felcourt
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Saint Hill Manor is about 3.7 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Felcourt
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Felcourt, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
Booking the duct clean in Felcourt now keeps it a planned job. The work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. It’s simpler to plan the work at Felcourt now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Felcourt: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Felcourt out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Felcourt, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which environmental health team covers Felcourt?
That is Tandridge council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Felcourt. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you cover Felcourt?
Yes. We work in Felcourt and the rest of West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers

How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Grease, kitchens and Felcourt
There are about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways across Felcourt and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. The fire and rescue service for Felcourt is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Felcourt, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near Dormans station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere as small as Felcourt, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
