How we handle ductwork cleaning in Bramshaw
Each extract duct we take on in Bramshaw goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. We are often asked to deal with high readings at a recent grease test and heavy grease at the base of a riser, across attenuators, access panels and horizontal duct runs.
In a small place like Bramshaw, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Why act early in Bramshaw
Dealing with the ductwork in Bramshaw now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Bramshaw
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Bramshaw, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How we price ductwork cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Bramshaw run smoothly.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
