Ductwork Cleaning in Mimbridge
We cover Mimbridge for cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Mimbridge knowing what to expect.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice
Ductwork cleaning in Mimbridge
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers attenuators, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and people most often call us about an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and high readings at a recent grease test.
Somewhere as small as Mimbridge, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Mimbridge?
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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Woking High School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

FAQs for Mimbridge
Which council inspects kitchens in Mimbridge?
In Mimbridge, it’s Woking council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work in Mimbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Mimbridge keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For ductwork cleaning in Mimbridge, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep to the interval on the report
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Ductwork cleaning in Mimbridge: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mimbridge. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Mimbridge. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Mimbridge get their food hygiene inspections from Woking council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere in Mimbridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Botleys Mansion is about 3.1 miles north-east), access may need planning.
