Managing agents and facilities teams in West Clandon
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Ductwork cleaning in West Clandon, done properly
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. If you have an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can help.
Somewhere as small as West Clandon, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in West Clandon
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in West Clandon?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work in villages like West Clandon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and West Clandon is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Short runs are quick, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. Visits are planned out of hours.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in West Clandon
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in West Clandon is as much a fire risk as in any building. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Clandon CofE Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease, kitchens and West Clandon
Look up West Clandon on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in West Clandon and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. West Clandon 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. In West Clandon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers 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.
A hospital like St. Luke’s Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Clandon station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Why deal with it now?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
