- Stale grease odours from the duct

- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
When to call us in Mickleham
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Mickleham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether VAT is included
- What records you will receive afterwards

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mickleham
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and attenuators, and people most often call us about readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and sections of duct with no access panels.
In a small place like Mickleham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Mickleham
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
FAQs for Mickleham
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Mickleham in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Mickleham. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mickleham?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Mickleham. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Mickleham.

Why act early in Mickleham
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
