Ductwork cleaning in Shamley Green, done properly
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork that has never been cleaned and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, across horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and attenuators.
For a kitchen in or near Shamley Green, 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 sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Shamley Green
Do you work overnight in Shamley Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Shamley Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Shamley Green?
Yes, Shamley Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shamley Green
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Shamley Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Shamley Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Fire safety in Shamley Green falls to 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. Kitchens in Shamley Green 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Shamley Green (Chilworth Manor is about 2.5 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Shamley Green is St. Luke’s Hospital, about 3.9 miles north.
Shamley Green is about 5 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Shamley Green, we can take on ductwork cleaning.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Shamley Green
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.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Stale grease odours from the duct
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Shamley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Shamley Green
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
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.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Somewhere as small as Shamley Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Shamley Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
