Common questions in Rowledge
Can you get to a site in Rowledge?
Yes, Rowledge is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Rowledge?
That’s Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rowledge. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we’ll recommend where.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Short runs are quick, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
About our ductwork cleaning in Rowledge
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. If you are dealing with heavy grease at the base of a riser and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can help, from attenuators, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Rowledge, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- 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.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading

What else we do in Rowledge
Leave it or put it right?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. With notice, the visit to Rowledge can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

- Full insurance on every job
What affects the quote in Rowledge
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep your cleaning records together
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Rowledge
Look up Rowledge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rowledge. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Kitchens in Rowledge get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Rowledge is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rowledge Church of England Controlled Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint James or elsewhere in Rowledge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Rowledge is about 2 miles south-west of Farnham, in Surrey. Rowledge gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Rowledge is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 12 miles away.

Close by, we work in Holt Pound (1 mile west), Boundstone (1 mile north-east), Wrecclesham (1 mile north), Shortheath (1 mile north-east) and Batt's Corner (1 mile south).

Local landmarks in Rowledge
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Underdown nature reserve, Weydon School and The Hare and Hounds pub, among other places. Rowledge’s nearest station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 2 miles west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Chase Community Hospital (5.6 miles south) and Museum of Farnham (2.2 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Beacon Hill and Farnham Heath.
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Rowledge?
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Rowledge as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 5.6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
