About our ductwork cleaning in Woolmer Hill
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and the jobs we see most are sections of duct with no access panels and high readings at a recent grease test.
For a kitchen in or near Woolmer Hill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the quote in Woolmer Hill
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Woolmer Hill.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- 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 photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
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.
FAQs for Woolmer Hill
Which fire authority looks after Woolmer Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Woolmer Hill 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.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Woolmer Hill?
In Woolmer Hill, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long will the duct clean take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Honest limits
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Kitchen extracts in Woolmer Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars in and around Woolmer Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Woolmer Hill is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woolmer Hill. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 2 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Camelsdale Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Woolmer Hill
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul or elsewhere in Woolmer Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
