Ductwork cleaning in Hinchley Wood, done properly
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a duct nobody has opened in years and grease seeping out of the duct seams.
For a smaller kitchen near Hinchley Wood, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When to call us in Hinchley Wood
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- High readings at a recent grease test
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hinchley Wood Primary School or anywhere near Hinchley Wood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What else we do in Hinchley Wood
How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Hinchley Wood
Food Standards Agency data counts about 59 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hinchley Wood. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Hinchley Wood sits within the area of 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. It’s Elmbridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hinchley Wood. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Hinchley Wood Church, or anywhere in Hinchley Wood, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Commuter trade near Hinchley Wood station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Common questions in Hinchley Wood
Do you work at weekends in Hinchley Wood?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Hinchley Wood keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers Hinchley Wood?
Food hygiene inspections in Hinchley Wood are carried out by Elmbridge council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Hinchley Wood?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Hinchley Wood when you book.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
