Ductwork cleaning in Hascombe, done properly
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers bends and junctions, vertical risers and access panels, and the jobs we see most are thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs.
In a village or hamlet like Hascombe, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not 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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Kitchen extracts in Hascombe
Food hygiene inspections in Hascombe are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hascombe, about 32 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Hascombe, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 2.6 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Hascombe is about 7 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey.

Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, Hascombe among them. Our Guildford page covers sites nearby (7 miles or so).

Questions from Hascombe
Is Hascombe within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hascombe included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in Hascombe?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
When to call us in Hascombe
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease leaking from duct joints
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Loseley Park is about 4.8 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hascombe before we set off.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Attenuators

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Diarise the next duct clean
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
