Ductwork cleaning in Hurst Green, Surrey

What staff can safely do

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

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.

Grease, kitchens and Hurst Green

Look up Hurst Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 32 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways in Hurst Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Hurst Green 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. In Hurst Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Commuter trade near Hurst Green station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Agatha's Hall or elsewhere in Hurst Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic (about 0.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What the work involves, part by part

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.

Vertical risers

In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
