How we handle ductwork cleaning in Stoneleigh

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 details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include a rancid smell from the extract duct and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, across horizontal duct runs, attenuators and multi-storey ducts.

Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Stoneleigh gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Stoneleigh

Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
  • Grease seeping out of the duct seams
  • Duct runs with no cleaning record
  • An insurer asking for TR19 evidence

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Auriol Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What staff can safely do

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What happens on the day

Your staff don’t 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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a place like Stoneleigh are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.

  1. Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
  2. A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
  3. We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
  4. Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
  5. The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Let us know about parking and loading

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Stoneleigh

Look up Stoneleigh on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 122 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 57 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stoneleigh. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Food hygiene inspections in Stoneleigh are the job of Epsom and Ewell council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Stoneleigh falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Ebba's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stoneleigh, about 1.5 miles south-west. If you run a café or takeaway near Stoneleigh station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

How we price ductwork cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • How big the system is

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Aftercare tips

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
  • Keep to the interval on the report
  • Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
  • Report any grease dripping from duct joints

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.

Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.

Stoneleigh: your questions answered

Which fire service covers Stoneleigh?

That’s 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.

Can you come to Stoneleigh after we close?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?

Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.

What’s TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

How much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

What shows that the ducts need a clean?

We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. BESA guidance says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns, and 500 or more anywhere needs immediate spot cleaning.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.

What the work involves, part by part

Vertical risers

In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.

Horizontal duct runs

Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.

When something else is needed

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Duct sections that need replacing
  • Parts of the duct with no way in
  • An extract fan that has stopped working

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the work covers

  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Bends and junctions
  • Vertical risers
  • Multi-storey ducts
  • Attenuators
  • Access panels
