Ductwork cleaning in Forest Green, Surrey

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Ductwork cleaning in Forest Green, done properly
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers access panels, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are stale grease odours from the duct and a duct nobody has opened in years.
In a small place like Forest Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises

Grease, kitchens and Forest Green
Forest Green, about 27 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Forest Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Around Forest Green, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Forest Green questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Forest Green?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Forest Green?
In Forest Green, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Forest Green
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Forest Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Visits to a village like Forest Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
