About our ductwork cleaning in Millbridge
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. If you have proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and access panels onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, 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 photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
FAQs for Millbridge
Which fire authority looks after Millbridge?
Fire safety enforcement in Millbridge is handled by 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 Millbridge?
Yes. Millbridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Millbridge
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Millbridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Millbridge falls to 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. Kitchens in Millbridge get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Millbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Millbridge (Farnham Castle is about 3.1 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Millbridge run smoothly.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- 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.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Why act early in Millbridge
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s simpler to plan the work at Millbridge now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
