Grayshott ductwork cleaning
Cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels for commercial sites in Grayshott and across Surrey. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Grayshott
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers bends and junctions, access panels and attenuators, and people most often call us about grease pooling at the foot of the riser and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
Kitchens around a place like Grayshott are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Part by part
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that can’t be safely reached is recorded.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Grayshott
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Grayshott. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Grayshott sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Grayshott. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Luke or anywhere around Grayshott, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital about 2.4 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School or anywhere near Grayshott, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why deal with it now?
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. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.

How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
