Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Molesey
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you’re dealing with grease seeping out of the duct seams and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near West Molesey, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, which is one of the points we test.
Why deal with it now?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in West Molesey does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. A site near West Molesey that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why us?
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- We diagnose before we treat

Ductwork cleaning in West Molesey: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 22 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of West Molesey. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in West Molesey are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Molesey sits within the area of 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 that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Teddington Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to West Molesey, about 2.1 miles north-east. For schools such as Chandlers Field Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we are called out for in West Molesey
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Commuter trade near Hampton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

West Molesey questions
Can a school canteen extract in West Molesey be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of West Molesey. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in West Molesey?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in West Molesey does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
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.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near West Molesey when you book.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
