What ductwork cleaning looks like in Stroud Common
The fire and rescue service for Stroud Common is 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. Stroud Common is about 29 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Stroud Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St. Luke’s Hospital about 4.6 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Stroud Common is about 6 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stroud Common
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. If you are dealing with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and years of grease along the duct floor, we can help.
In a small place like Stroud Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Stroud Common is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Questions from Stroud Common
Which environmental health team covers Stroud Common?
In Stroud Common, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stroud Common?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stroud Common. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Check readings when the menu changes
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.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Stroud Common
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Stroud Common is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- High readings at a recent grease test
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Chilworth Manor is about 3.1 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

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 the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Stroud Common
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
