Ductwork cleaning in Pachesham Park, done properly
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Pachesham Park, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Questions from Pachesham Park
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pachesham Park?
The local authority for Pachesham Park is Elmbridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you work in Pachesham Park outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Pachesham Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Common problems we fix in Pachesham Park
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Epsom Cottage Hospital about 2.2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether VAT is included
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Pachesham Park
Food Standards Agency data counts about 33 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pachesham Park. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Pachesham Park. 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. It’s Elmbridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pachesham Park. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
The Homewood, about 3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Pachesham Park; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Parts of the duct with no way in

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Check readings when the menu changes
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For ductwork cleaning in Pachesham Park, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Pachesham Park before we set off.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
