What ductwork cleaning looks like in Gomshall
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Gomshall, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Gomshall sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Gomshall are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. For kitchens close to Gomshall station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St. Luke’s Hospital about 4.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Ductwork cleaning in Gomshall, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and duct runs with no cleaning record, across access panels, vertical risers and bends and junctions.
Somewhere as small as Gomshall, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, 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 so you know the cost before work begins.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Gomshall can be planned properly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What else we do in Gomshall
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Gomshall
Is Gomshall within the area you cover?
Yes. Gomshall is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Gomshall?
Food hygiene inspections in Gomshall are carried out by Guildford council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
You get a photo report with before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
