Duct cleaning in Pirbright
Ductwork cleaning for Pirbright, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Pirbright
No two duct runs are the same, in Pirbright or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. We’re often asked to deal with fat dripping from the ductwork and high readings at a recent grease test, on multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and attenuators.
For a kitchen in or near Pirbright, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work 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 Pirbright.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

FAQs for Pirbright
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Pirbright?
Pirbright 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.
Which environmental health team covers Pirbright?
In Pirbright, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is Pirbright in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Pirbright included.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

Leave it or put it right?
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, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why book with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

Kitchen extracts in Pirbright
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in Pirbright and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pirbright. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Pirbright is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A kitchen near Brookwood station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Knowl Hill School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
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.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Pirbright?
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or anywhere around Pirbright, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
