- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Bedgrove
Every duct has its own route. 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. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are a rancid smell from the extract duct and ductwork that has never been cleaned.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Bedgrove gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Bedgrove when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

When to call us in Bedgrove
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bedgrove Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
What happens if it’s left?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Bedgrove does not stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. In a smaller place like Bedgrove, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Attenuators
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Bedgrove
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Never cook with a filter missing
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Questions from Bedgrove
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bedgrove during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 21 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bedgrove, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Bedgrove?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Bedgrove needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Ductwork cleaning around Bedgrove
Food Standards Agency records include about 27 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bedgrove. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Bedgrove, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Bedgrove is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Spirit, or anywhere in Bedgrove, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Stoke Mandeville Hospital (about 0.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
