How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. 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 a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Visits to a place like Westborough are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Westborough, done properly
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you’re dealing with a rancid smell from the extract duct and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can help, from attenuators, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Westborough, 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.

How we price ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Westborough doesn’t stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why Westborough businesses choose us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Trading since 2009
- Each visit written up, with photos
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Questions from Westborough
Can you work in Westborough outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Westborough needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Westborough?
Fire safety enforcement in Westborough is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much 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 work begins.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What we are called out for in Westborough
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Westborough as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Guildford Castle is about 1.4 miles south-east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Grease, kitchens and Westborough
Food Standards Agency data counts about 144 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 42 takeaways and sandwich shops across Westborough and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Westborough. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Westborough. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Westborough is Royal Surrey County Hospital, about 0.6 miles south-west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Francis Church or elsewhere in Westborough, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
