Ductwork Cleaning in Grayswood
Ductwork cleaning for Grayswood, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
About our ductwork cleaning in Grayswood
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Common call-outs are for high readings at a recent grease test and grease leaking from duct joints, across bends and junctions, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
Somewhere as small as Grayswood, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What affects the quote in Grayswood
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the interval on the report
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Grayswood
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Grayswood?
Grayswood is in the area of 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.
Which council inspects kitchens in Grayswood?
Kitchens in Grayswood are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Grayswood kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Grayswood. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Kitchens in Grayswood get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Grayswood. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Grayswood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital about 1.2 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Grayswood
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Grayswood Church of England (Aided) Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Grayswood, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
