Ductwork cleaning in Bray
If the ducts in Bray haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. The work covers attenuators, bends and junctions and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a duct nobody has opened in years and grease leaking from duct joints.
Work in a small place like Bray starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Bray
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bray?
In Bray, it’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work in Bray be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Bray can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
How long will the duct clean take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. Typically it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Bray
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost 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 there are no surprises.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Bray kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bray. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bray. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Bray 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Dorney School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Historic houses near Bray, such as Dorney Court about 1.3 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a village or hamlet like Bray, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Check readings when the menu changes
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Run the extract fan throughout service
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
