Ductwork cleaning in South Godstone
If the ducts in South Godstone haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for heavy grease at the base of a riser and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, across bends and junctions, attenuators and vertical risers.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When to call us in South Godstone
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
A hospital like Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic, about 3.3 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like South Godstone, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we work on in South Godstone
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Never cook with a filter missing
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Common questions in South Godstone
Will you come out to South Godstone?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in South Godstone?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for South Godstone. 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.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
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. File them with the fire risk assessment.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
South Godstone kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in South Godstone and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. South Godstone is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in South Godstone. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Stephen's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near St Stephen, or anywhere in South Godstone, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
