Ductwork cleaning in Wisley
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. Common call-outs are for proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, across multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Leave it or put it right?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Wisley does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Wisley
There are about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wisley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. The fire and rescue service for Wisley is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Wisley get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Wisley Church, or anywhere in Wisley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Byfleet Manor, about 0.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Wisley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Wisley is about 4 miles south of Weybridge, in Surrey. Wisley gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Wisley is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for ductwork cleaning. There’s also a page for Guildford, about 7 miles away.
Ductwork cleaning in GU23 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else.

Other places close to Wisley include Pyrford Green (1 mile west), Byfleet (1 mile north), Hatchford End (2 miles south-east), New Haw (2 miles north) and Martyr's Green (2 miles south-east).

What we’re called out for in Wisley
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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary's CofE Controlled Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Wisley: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Wisley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Wisley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Wisley?
Kitchens in Wisley are inspected by Guildford council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is Wisley in your area?
Yes. We work in Wisley and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. We’ll recommend where they should go.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Flag drips from the duct right away
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Wisley.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
