Ductwork Cleaning in Beansheaf Farm

What staff can safely do

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Part by part

Attenuators and discharge

Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.

Horizontal duct runs

Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
