Managing agents and facilities teams in Pitland Street
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pitland Street
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers bends and junctions, vertical risers and attenuators, and people most often call us about a duct clean needed for an insurer and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
For a kitchen in or near Pitland Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Ductwork cleaning around Pitland Street
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Pitland Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Pitland Street is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Pitland Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near St Mary The Virgins Church, or anywhere in Pitland Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The timing of a visit to Pitland Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Make sure filters are seated properly
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Common questions in Pitland Street
Is Pitland Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pitland Street is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Pitland Street out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Pitland Street. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
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.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Why deal with it now?
Booking the duct clean in Pitland Street now keeps it a planned job. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. A fault that closes a site in a village like Pitland Street affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.

What affects the quote in Pitland Street
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
When to call us in Pitland Street
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Belmont Prep School or anywhere near Pitland Street, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance
