Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Onslow Village
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers attenuators, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and the jobs we see most are grease leaking from duct joints and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
In a smaller place like Onslow Village, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Onslow Village questions
Can a school canteen extract in Onslow Village be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 24 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Onslow Village, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Onslow Village outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Onslow Village can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We will confirm the time when we quote.
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.

Kitchen extracts in Onslow Village
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 42 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses across Onslow Village and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Onslow Village, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford 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. Onslow Village sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Onslow Village is Royal Surrey County Hospital, about 0.5 miles north-west. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Onslow Village, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What we do, step by step

All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Onslow Village, 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.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Why it’s worth doing now in Onslow Village
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 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. A planned visit to Onslow Village fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
