Ductwork cleaning in Ashford Hill
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. Common call-outs are for an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and gaps where access panels were never fitted, on attenuators, bends and junctions and vertical risers.
Somewhere as small as Ashford Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Ductwork cleaning in Ashford Hill: the local picture
At about 49 miles from central London, Ashford Hill sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Ashford Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around Ashford Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Ashford Hill Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ashford Hill is West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 5.2 miles north-west.

What we work on in Ashford Hill
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In a small place like Ashford Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Ashford Hill questions
Do you work overnight in Ashford Hill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Ashford Hill can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Ashford Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ashford Hill included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ashford Hill
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ashford Hill affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Trading since 2009

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ashford Hill
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
