- Gaps where access panels were never fitted

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive 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 we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Tuesley run smoothly.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

About our ductwork cleaning in Tuesley
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for ductwork that has never been cleaned and gaps where access panels were never fitted, across multi-storey ducts, attenuators and access panels.
Work in a small place like Tuesley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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 staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run can’t be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
FAQs for Tuesley
Can a school canteen extract in Tuesley be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tuesley. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to Tuesley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Tuesley?
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
A hospital like Milford Hospital, about under half a mile south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How we price ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

What else we do in Tuesley
Grease, kitchens and Tuesley
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Tuesley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Tuesley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Tuesley 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Godalming College for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. For kitchens close to Milford (Surrey) station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Run the extract fan throughout service
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
