Ductwork cleaning in Wormley, done properly
No two duct runs are the same, in Wormley 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. The work covers attenuators, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and thick crusts of old grease along the duct.
For a kitchen in or near Wormley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Somewhere as small as Wormley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 go through it with you.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Wormley can be planned properly.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Common questions in Wormley
Can you work in Wormley outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Wormley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Wormley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wormley is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Check readings when the menu changes
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Kitchen extracts in Wormley
It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wormley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Wormley falls to 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.
A kitchen near Witley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 2.3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like King Edward's School Witley, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What else we do in Wormley
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
