Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Tadworth
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Tadworth in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tadworth. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Tadworth?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Tadworth. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, and test again when we are done.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tadworth
Booking the duct clean in Tadworth now keeps it a planned job. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Even a site near Tadworth that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why Tadworth businesses choose us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Full insurance on every job

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
When to call us in Tadworth
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Tadworth Primary School or anywhere near Tadworth, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Tadworth, so let us know how to reach it.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Tadworth kitchens: local notes
Look up Tadworth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 23 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tadworth. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. It’s Reigate and Banstead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tadworth. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Tadworth is 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Headley Court (about 2 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Good Shepherd or anywhere around Tadworth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
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.
