How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Ductwork cleaning in Seale
We have 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. If you’re dealing with a duct clean needed for an insurer and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and attenuators onwards.
Work in a small place like Seale starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Kitchen extracts in Seale
The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Seale. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Seale. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Seale, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Laurence or elsewhere in Seale, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Guildford Hospital, about 4.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Seale is about 3 miles south-east of Aldershot, in Surrey. We provide ductwork cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Seale and the rest of Surrey. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, Seale among them. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 6 miles away.
We work across GU10 for ductwork cleaning and the streets around it. Whether your site is on Elstead Road, School Hill and Wood Lane or a nearby road, we can help. Nearby, we also carry out ductwork cleaning in Sandy Cross (1 mile west), Tongham (1 mile north-west), The Sands (1 mile south-west), Ash Green (1 mile north) and Ash (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Guildford (6 miles east), Woking (9 miles north-east), Camberley (8 miles north), Farnham (4 miles west), Frimley (6 miles north) and Haslemere (9 miles south).
Landmarks near Seale
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Connaught School, Ash Manor School and The White Hart pub, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Ash station, roughly 1.9 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Guildford Hospital (4.8 miles east) and Farnham Castle (3.7 miles west). For a walk, there’s Runfold Wood and Hog's Back.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Seale.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Seale
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
Take a look at what affects the cost or our accreditations.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Seale?
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
What we are most often called out for:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Wanborough Manor is about 2.4 miles east), access may need planning.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers

Questions from Seale
Do you work overnight in Seale?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Seale?
Fire safety enforcement in Seale is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Part by part
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.
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
