Do you need ductwork cleaning in Bray Wick?
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Holyport CofE Primary School or anywhere near Bray Wick, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Ductwork cleaning in Bray Wick, done properly
Each extract duct we take on in Bray Wick goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. Common call-outs are for sections of duct with no access panels and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, across attenuators, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions.
Work in a small place like Bray Wick starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Bray Wick
The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Bray Wick, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Bray Wick are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Bray Wick is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Dorney Court, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Bray Wick; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 2.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bray Wick
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Windsor and Maidenhead. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The timing of a visit to Bray Wick is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
