Ductwork cleaning in Tandridge
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and gaps where access panels were never fitted.
Somewhere as small as Tandridge, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Tandridge: your questions answered
Can you work in Tandridge outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Tandridge needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Tandridge?
That is Tandridge council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tandridge. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you work in Tandridge?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Tandridge included.
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, then the readings are repeated.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Kitchen extracts in Tandridge
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Tandridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Tandridge 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. Environmental health officers from Tandridge council inspect food businesses in Tandridge. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Titsey Place is about 3.4 miles north-east), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic is the nearest hospital to Tandridge, about 1.9 miles north-east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Tandridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Tandridge is about 2 miles south-west of Oxted, in Surrey. Tandridge gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, Tandridge among them. London is in our area too, about 18 miles from Tandridge.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned and the report has to say so.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
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 shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What affects the quote in Tandridge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a village like Tandridge are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
