About our ductwork cleaning in Beenham Stocks
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are grease leaking from duct joints and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
Somewhere as small as Beenham Stocks, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Questions from Beenham Stocks
Who is the fire and rescue service for Beenham Stocks?
Beenham Stocks is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Beenham Stocks outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Beenham Stocks keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Beenham Stocks kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Beenham Stocks. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Beenham Stocks is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Beenham Stocks. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Beenham Stocks, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we’re called out for in Beenham Stocks
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
School kitchens, at schools like Beenham Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Why act early in Beenham Stocks
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Beenham Stocks rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Beenham Stocks.
- 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.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

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 we start.
