About our ductwork cleaning in Berrick Salome
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. We’re often asked to deal with years of grease along the duct floor and heavy grease at the base of a riser, across attenuators, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers.
In a small place like Berrick Salome, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Grease left in a duct in Berrick Salome hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Berrick Salome rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why Berrick Salome businesses choose us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Grease, kitchens and Berrick Salome
Fire safety in Berrick Salome falls to Oxfordshire 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 St Helen, or anywhere in Berrick Salome, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Berrick Salome: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Berrick Salome?
Food hygiene inspections in Berrick Salome are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Berrick Salome?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re 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.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Berrick Salome?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Berrick Salome?
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Brightwell Manor, about 3.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Berrick Salome; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Berrick Salome knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- 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
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What staff can safely do
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
