How we handle ductwork cleaning in Wood Street Village
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
In a small place like Wood Street Village, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. A planned visit to Wood Street Village is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wood Street Village.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
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 any work starts.

Part by part
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. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
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 affects the quote in Wood Street Village
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we’re called out for in Wood Street Village
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
For schools such as Wood Street Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Questions from Wood Street Village
Can a school canteen extract in Wood Street Village be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 15 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Wood Street Village. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wood Street Village?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Wood Street Village. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Wood Street Village
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wood Street Village. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Wood Street Village. 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. Wood Street Village is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near St Alban's Church, or anywhere in Wood Street Village, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Guildford Hospital about 0.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
