About our ductwork cleaning in Mogador

Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. If you have thick crusts of old grease along the duct and a duct nobody has opened in years, we can help.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When to call us in Mogador

Slow air leaves the most grease behind. 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.

Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A rancid smell from the extract duct
  • Ductwork that has never been cleaned
  • Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
  • Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct

Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God or anywhere around Mogador, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • When the next visit should be, and why

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

How we price ductwork cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • The times the site is available
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What to send for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

How the visit works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Mogador and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
  2. We take grease readings along the route.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
  4. Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
  5. We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.

Preparing for the visit

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

Ask for a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

FAQs for Mogador

Who inspects food businesses in Mogador?

That’s Reigate and Banstead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Mogador. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

Can you come to Mogador after we close?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Mogador needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

How do you clean inside the ductwork?

We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

What is TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

How far ahead should we book?

Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Mogador and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Different parts, different methods

Horizontal duct runs

Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.

Access panels

We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.

Mogador kitchens: local notes

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mogador. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Mogador falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council inspect food businesses in Mogador. 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.

For schools such as Kingswood Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Mogador is Headley Court, about 3.2 miles north-west.

Why act early in Mogador

Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Mogador does not stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. It’s simpler to plan the work at Mogador now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
