Ductwork cleaning in Upper Halliford, done properly
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork 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. If you’re dealing with duct runs that can’t be reached and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The timing of a visit to Upper Halliford 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.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.

What else we do in Upper Halliford
What we are called out for in Upper Halliford
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
A kitchen near Upper Halliford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Upper Halliford
Food Standards Agency records list about 75 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 23 takeaways and sandwich shops across Upper Halliford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Environmental health officers from Spelthorne council inspect food businesses in Upper Halliford. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Upper Halliford sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Upper Halliford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like The Bishop Wand Church of England School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Upper Halliford
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
FAQs for Upper Halliford
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Halliford in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 17 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Upper Halliford, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who inspects food businesses in Upper Halliford?
Kitchens in Upper Halliford are inspected by Spelthorne council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you cover Upper Halliford?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Upper Halliford.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Halliford
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
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.
Why act early in Upper Halliford
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Upper Halliford is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- In business since 2009
- Full insurance on every job
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
