Common questions in Smallfield
Which fire authority looks after Smallfield?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Smallfield. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Smallfield?
Kitchens in Smallfield are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Only while we are working, and we work around you. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Smallfield
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
A hospital like East Surrey Hospital, about 3.8 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether they recommend a next date
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with the ductwork in Smallfield now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. In a smaller place like Smallfield, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

What affects the quote in Smallfield

- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We plan the journey to Smallfield and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
