Ductwork cleaning around Walliswood
Walliswood, about 29 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Walliswood are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horsham Hospital (about 5.5 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Walliswood
Ductwork in Walliswood is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. We’re often asked to deal with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and duct runs that can’t be reached, across horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and access panels.
Work in a small place like Walliswood 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.

When to call us in Walliswood
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Walliswood, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions from Walliswood
Which council inspects kitchens in Walliswood?
In Walliswood, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Walliswood?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Walliswood can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Part by part
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The timing of a visit to Walliswood is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Why deal with it now?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.
