How we handle ductwork cleaning in Green Cross
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and vertical risers, and people most often call us about proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
Work in a small place like Green Cross starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Green Cross
Can the work in Green Cross be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Green Cross can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire service covers Green Cross?
That’s 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.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Is Green Cross in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Green Cross included.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Leave it or put it right?
Booking the duct clean in Green Cross now keeps it a planned job. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Green Cross rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Green Cross before we set off.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Green Cross?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
What we are most often called out for:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St John's CofE Aided Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why

Kitchen extracts in Green Cross
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Green Cross. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Green Cross sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Green Cross get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Green Cross, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Green Cross
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
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 job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. We will recommend where they should go.
