Ductwork cleaning in Arborfield Garrison
No two duct runs are the same, in Arborfield Garrison 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. We’re often asked to deal with a rancid smell from the extract duct and high readings at a recent grease test, across vertical risers, bends and junctions and access panels.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Arborfield Garrison gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Arborfield Garrison questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Arborfield Garrison?
In Arborfield Garrison, it’s Wokingham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Arborfield Garrison?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Diarise the next duct clean
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Kitchen extracts in Arborfield Garrison
There are about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Arborfield Garrison and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Kitchens in Arborfield Garrison get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Arborfield Garrison sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What happens if it’s left?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Around Arborfield Garrison, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
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 any work starts, so you know where you stand.
