Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Old Dean
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
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 not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Ductwork cleaning in Old Dean
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and high readings at a recent grease test.
For a smaller kitchen near Old Dean, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What else we do in Old Dean
Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Old Dean hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. When a site near Old Dean shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- In business since 2009

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Old Dean
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Access panels
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Check readings when the menu changes
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Old Dean, so let us know how to reach it.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Old Dean
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Old Dean: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Old Dean?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Old Dean?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Old Dean can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, and test again when we’re done.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Grease, kitchens and Old Dean
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Old Dean. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Old Dean get their food hygiene inspections from Surrey Heath 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. Old Dean is covered by 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Martin's Church or elsewhere in Old Dean, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Frimley Park Hospital about 2.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Collingwood College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
