Ductwork cleaning in Peaslake, done properly
Each extract duct we take on in Peaslake goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached and ductwork that has never been cleaned, across bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts.
In a village or hamlet like Peaslake, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

FAQs for Peaslake
Do you work at weekends in Peaslake?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Peaslake doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Peaslake?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Peaslake. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

What else we do in Peaslake
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Peaslake.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
When something else is needed
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Ductwork cleaning in Peaslake: the local picture
Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Peaslake. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Peaslake, about 26 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Peaslake, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Chilworth Manor, about 4.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Peaslake; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Luke’s Hospital (about 5.8 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Peaslake is about 6 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Peaslake, we can take on ductwork cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading isn’t interrupted. Peaslake is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey where we work for commercial clients.

Why deal with it now?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Fully insured
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
