About our ductwork cleaning in Shottermill
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. If you are dealing with duct runs with no cleaning record and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can help.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Shottermill gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
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.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Shottermill?
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
For schools such as Camelsdale Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Why deal with it now?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Shottermill at a time that suits you.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Around Shottermill, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Shottermill
Who is the fire and rescue service for Shottermill?
Shottermill is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will you come out to Shottermill?
Yes, Shottermill is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
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 staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Kitchen extracts in Shottermill
Look up Shottermill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 25 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shottermill. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Fire safety in Shottermill falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Shottermill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shottermill, about 1.3 miles east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Stephen's Church, or anywhere in Shottermill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
