Ductwork cleaning in Brimpton, done properly
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers bends and junctions, access panels and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are grease seeping out of the duct seams and duct runs that can’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Brimpton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Brimpton can be planned properly.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Brimpton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Brimpton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brimpton is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Brimpton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Brimpton can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

What else we do in Brimpton
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Ductwork cleaning around Brimpton
It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brimpton. 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. We cover Brimpton, about 48 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Brimpton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Brimpton C.E. Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we’re called out for in Brimpton
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
What we are most often called out for:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West Berkshire Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Brimpton, about 4.4 miles north-west.
