Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upper Eashing
Each extract duct we take on in Upper Eashing goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. If you have readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, access panels and bends and junctions onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Eashing, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Never cook with a filter missing
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
When to call us in Upper Eashing
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
School kitchens, at schools like St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.

What happens on the day
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 first, 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. The timing of a visit to Upper Eashing is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Kitchen extracts in Upper Eashing
Food Standards Agency records list about 28 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways in and around Upper Eashing, up to about a mile and a half out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Upper Eashing is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Upper Eashing get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near St Mark's Church and Community Centre, or anywhere in Upper Eashing, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Loseley Park is about 2.7 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Upper Eashing
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Upper Eashing?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Upper Eashing. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Upper Eashing within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
