Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mayford
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers access panels, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and gaps where access panels were never fitted.
Somewhere as small as Mayford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When to call us in Mayford
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
If you run a café or takeaway near Worplesdon station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance

Why deal with it now?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. It’s simpler to plan the work at Mayford now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations and certificates.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Mayford kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Mayford, up to about a mile and a half out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Mayford is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Woking council inspect food businesses in Mayford. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Westfield Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Woking Community Hospital (about 1.4 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Mayford is about 1 mile south of Woking, in Surrey. Whether your site is in the middle of Mayford or further out, we cover ductwork cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Mayford is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover for ductwork cleaning.

Green spaces nearby include Pewley Hill and Papercourt Marshes.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Questions from Mayford
Can you get to a site in Mayford?
Yes, Mayford is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Mayford out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Mayford. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Mayford, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
