Pitch Place ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning across Pitch Place and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Years of grease along the duct floor
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pitch Place
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include fat dripping from the ductwork and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, on access panels, attenuators and horizontal duct runs.
Somewhere as small as Pitch Place, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What a clean won’t put right
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Pitch Place
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common questions in Pitch Place
Can you work in Pitch Place outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Pitch Place?
Kitchens in Pitch Place are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Why act early in Pitch Place
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Pitch Place is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Pitch Place
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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 3.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
