Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Ductwork cleaning in Holmbury St Mary, done properly
If the ducts in Holmbury St Mary haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. The work covers attenuators, horizontal duct runs and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are a rancid smell from the extract duct and duct runs that can’t be reached.
In a small place like Holmbury St Mary, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Holmbury St Mary

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Holmbury St Mary get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Check readings when the menu changes
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.

What else we do in Holmbury St Mary
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Holmbury St Mary before we set off.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why it’s worth doing now in Holmbury St Mary
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. If the system at a site near Holmbury St Mary fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Holmbury St Mary
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Look out for any of the following:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
For schools such as Belmont Prep School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
