What we are called out for in Stoughton
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
For schools such as Stoughton Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stoughton
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and sections of duct with no access panels, we can help, from access panels, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions onwards.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Stoughton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
Leave it or put it right?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Ductwork cleaning in Stoughton: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 34 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stoughton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Stoughton falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Stoughton are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Stoughton, such as Guildford Castle about 1.7 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Emmanuel Church, or anywhere in Stoughton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do 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. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Stoughton when you book.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Stoughton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stoughton?
The local authority for Stoughton is Guildford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Stoughton within the area you cover?
Yes, Stoughton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Stoughton?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We will confirm the time when we quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
