About our ductwork cleaning in Frimley
Ductwork in Frimley 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. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. If you are dealing with thick crusts of old grease along the duct and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can help.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Frimley, losing a day’s trade to cleaning isn’t an option, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Ductwork cleaning in Frimley: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Frimley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Frimley. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council inspect food businesses in Frimley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Peter's Church, or anywhere in Frimley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Lakeside Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Frimley is about 1 mile south of Camberley, in Surrey. Anywhere in GU16, we can carry out ductwork cleaning at your premises. Frimley is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey where we work for ductwork cleaning. For sites nearby, see our Guildford page (8 miles or so).
Work in GU16 and GU15 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Church Road, Frimley High Street and Station Road and the roads around them. Frimley sits on or near the A325 and B311, which makes travel easy for ductwork cleaning. Nearby, we also carry out ductwork cleaning in Frimley Green (1 mile south), Deepcut (1 mile east), Camberley (1 mile north), Watchmoor (2 miles north-west) and York Town (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (8 miles south-east), Woking (7 miles east), Farnham (8 miles south), Egham (11 miles north-east), Walton-on-Thames (15 miles east) and Staines-upon-Thames (13 miles north-east).

Common problems we fix in Frimley
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- High readings at a recent grease test
If you run a café or takeaway near Frimley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Honest limits
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Photos taken on a phone are typically enough for us to plan a job in Frimley and give a fixed quote.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Frimley questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Frimley?
Fire safety enforcement in Frimley is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Frimley in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 23 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Frimley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
