About our ductwork cleaning in Paynes Green
If the ducts in Paynes Green haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with thick crusts of old grease along the duct and a duct clean needed for an insurer, across multi-storey ducts, access panels and vertical risers.
Somewhere as small as Paynes Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Questions from Paynes Green
Which fire service covers Paynes Green?
Paynes Green is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Will you come out to Paynes Green?
Yes. Paynes Green 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.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Paynes Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.

Why it’s worth doing now in Paynes Green
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Somewhere as small as Paynes Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Paynes Green
About 28 miles out from central London, Paynes Green is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Paynes Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Paynes Green is Horsham Hospital, about 4.2 miles south-east.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Never cook with a filter missing
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Paynes Green.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
