Our ductwork cleaning service in West Berkshire
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. We are often asked to deal with duct runs with no cleaning record and duct runs that can’t be reached, on vertical risers, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.

Ductwork cleaning across West Berkshire: local notes
Kitchens across West Berkshire cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
West Berkshire is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in West Berkshire.
Newbury: If you cook for passing trade around Newbury station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Nicolas Church, or anywhere in Newbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Managing agents and facilities teams in West Berkshire
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
FAQs for West Berkshire
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Only while we are working, and we work around you. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
