What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Windlesham
No two duct runs are the same, in Windlesham or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. If you have high readings at a recent grease test and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Windlesham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
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.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Windlesham can typically be finished without a second trip.
- 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 photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Windlesham
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 pubs, bars and clubs in Windlesham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Windlesham. 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. In Windlesham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Windlesham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Windlesham Village Infant School or anywhere near Windlesham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

What we’re called out for in Windlesham
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
A hospital like Heatherwood Hospital, about 3.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Common questions in Windlesham
Do you work at weekends in Windlesham?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire service covers Windlesham?
Fire safety enforcement in Windlesham is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We get into the duct through its access panels. 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.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Access panels
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
