Common problems we fix in Dunsfold
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary and All Saints or anywhere around Dunsfold, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Dunsfold
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have missing access panels found on survey and missing TR19 certificates or history, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Dunsfold, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Dunsfold, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Never cook with filters missing
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Dunsfold a current picture. In a place like Dunsfold, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
