Surrey · Ductwork cleaning
Duct cleaning in Redlands
For cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels in Redlands, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Redlands
Each extract duct we take on in Redlands goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. The work covers attenuators, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers, and people most often call us about proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and stale grease odours from the duct.
Somewhere as small as Redlands, 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.
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, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Leave a way through to the access panels
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Redlands
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
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 on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In a small place like Redlands, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Redlands: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Redlands?

Which fire authority looks after Redlands?
Fire safety enforcement in Redlands is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.

What should I send you?

What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Grease, kitchens and Redlands
It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Redlands. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. We cover Redlands, about 37 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East.
