Ductwork cleaning in Hamsey Green
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. We are often asked to deal with grease leaking from duct joints and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, across access panels, vertical risers and bends and junctions.
For a kitchen in or near Hamsey Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Ductwork cleaning around Hamsey Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 13 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Hamsey Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Hamsey Green get their food hygiene inspections from Croydon council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Hamsey Green is 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Antony or anywhere around Hamsey Green, 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 Warlingham Park Hospital about 1.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep your cleaning records together
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere as small as Hamsey Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common problems we fix in Hamsey Green
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
School kitchens, at schools like Hamsey Green Primary for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What else we do in Hamsey Green
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
What affects the quote in Hamsey Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hamsey Green
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Hamsey Green
- We’re fully insured
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- We diagnose before we treat

Hamsey Green questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hamsey Green out of term?

Which council inspects kitchens in Hamsey Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Hamsey Green are carried out by Croydon council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Hamsey Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hamsey Green and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
