Ductwork cleaning in Peper Harow, Surrey
Our technicians work in Peper Harow on ductwork cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not switch the extract off early
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Peper Harow
Ductwork in Peper Harow is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: 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. The work covers multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and access panels, and the jobs we see most are grease seeping out of the duct seams and duct runs with no cleaning record.
Somewhere as small as Peper Harow, 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, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Peper Harow
Do you cover smaller places like Peper Harow?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Peper Harow included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Peper Harow?
The local authority for Peper Harow is Guildford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Are you accredited?
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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Peper Harow, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What happens if it’s left?
TR19® is not 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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, 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.

Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Peper Harow
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
