Ductwork cleaning in Pyrford Village
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, on horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels.
In a small place like Pyrford Village, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Flag drips from the duct right away
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Common questions in Pyrford Village
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Pyrford Village?
Pyrford Village is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which council inspects kitchens in Pyrford Village?
That’s Woking council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Pyrford Village. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Pyrford Village and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Ductwork cleaning in Pyrford Village: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars in and around Pyrford Village, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Pyrford Village is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Pyrford Village get their food hygiene inspections from Woking council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Historic houses near Pyrford Village, such as Byfleet Manor about 2.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Nicholas's Church or elsewhere in Pyrford Village, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Related advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Pyrford Village?
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
School kitchens, at schools like Pyrford Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
