Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fernhurst
Each extract duct we take on in Fernhurst goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and fat dripping from the ductwork.
In a small place like Fernhurst, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price ductwork cleaning

- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

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. After that, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Fernhurst.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Keep to the interval on the report
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Kitchen extracts in Fernhurst
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Fernhurst, up to about a mile and a half out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. The fire and rescue service for Fernhurst is Surrey 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. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fernhurst. 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Fernhurst is Haslemere and District Hospital, about 2.9 miles north. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cowdray House is about 4.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Fernhurst Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What happens if it’s left?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fernhurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
