Kitchen duct cleaning in Millbridge
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are missing paperwork after a change of operator and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Millbridge it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like Millbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Millbridge
Do you cover smaller places like Millbridge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Millbridge included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Millbridge?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Millbridge. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Why it’s worth doing now in Millbridge
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Millbridge is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- One number for every site across the South East and London
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Millbridge before we set off.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. 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. Leave those to us.
