About our ductwork cleaning in Sheerwater
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers access panels, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are a duct clean needed for an insurer and duct runs that can’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Sheerwater, 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 written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Make sure filters are seated properly
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: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Sheerwater
The Food Standards Agency lists about 12 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Sheerwater and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Sheerwater. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Sheerwater, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Woking council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Michaels Church or anywhere around Sheerwater, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Broadmere Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What we’re called out for in Sheerwater
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Sheerwater 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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sheerwater is Woking Community Hospital, about 1.7 miles south-west.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
