About our ductwork cleaning in Haslemere
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. If you are dealing with sections of duct with no access panels and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can put it right.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Haslemere gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something 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 give you a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep your cleaning records together
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Haslemere: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Haslemere be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Haslemere, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you come to Haslemere after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Haslemere does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
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 fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Common problems we fix in Haslemere
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
A kitchen near Haslemere station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What your quote should include

- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

Grease, kitchens and Haslemere
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Haslemere. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Haslemere is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Haslemere. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Christopher or elsewhere in Haslemere, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 0.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In a place like Haslemere, we fit the visit around your hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
