Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newdigate
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. We’re often asked to deal with sections of duct with no access panels and a duct nobody has opened in years, across vertical risers, access panels and bends and junctions.
In a village or hamlet like Newdigate, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Ductwork cleaning around Newdigate
Look up Newdigate on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Newdigate, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Newdigate. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Newdigate is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Newdigate, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Newdigate run smoothly.
- 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.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with the ductwork in Newdigate now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. It’s simpler to plan the work at Newdigate now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Newdigate: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Newdigate?
In Newdigate, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Newdigate?
Yes. Newdigate 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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Newdigate?
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Newdigate is Langley Green Hospital, about 4.9 miles south-east.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
