FAQs for Nutcombe
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Nutcombe?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can school kitchens in Nutcombe be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Nutcombe. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you work in Nutcombe?
Yes. Nutcombe is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Ductwork cleaning in Nutcombe, done properly
If the ducts in Nutcombe haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for ductwork that has never been cleaned and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, across multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
Work in a small place like Nutcombe starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

What happens if it’s left?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Nutcombe is calmer for everyone.
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’ll explain each part.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Somewhere as small as Nutcombe, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Nutcombe
Food Standards Agency records list about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways in Nutcombe and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Kitchens in Nutcombe get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Nutcombe falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Luke or elsewhere in Nutcombe, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Amesbury School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 1.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
