About our ductwork cleaning in Hindhead
No two duct runs are the same, in Hindhead or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers attenuators, vertical risers and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about grease pooling at the foot of the riser and a duct nobody has opened in years.
For a kitchen in or near Hindhead, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hindhead and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Different parts, different methods
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Hindhead
Look up Hindhead on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hindhead. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Food hygiene inspections in Hindhead are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hindhead is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital about 2 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as St Edmund's School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Luke or elsewhere in Hindhead, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Hindhead
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hindhead?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Hindhead?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Hindhead?
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.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep your cleaning records together
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a village or hamlet like Hindhead, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
