How we handle ductwork cleaning in Sheet's Heath
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. Typical jobs include a duct nobody has opened in years and sections of duct with no access panels, on vertical risers, access panels and bends and junctions.
In a village or hamlet like Sheet's Heath, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sheet's Heath
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Sheet's Heath and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. In a small place like Sheet's Heath, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a village or hamlet like Sheet's Heath, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
