Ductwork cleaning in Burn's Green
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers attenuators, horizontal duct runs and access panels, and people most often call us about readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and sections of duct with no access panels.
In a village or hamlet like Burn's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Burn's Green and across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
How we price ductwork cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Burn's Green questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Burn's Green?
Kitchens in Burn's Green are inspected by East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Burn's Green?
Burn's Green is in the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Burn's Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
When to call us in Burn's Green
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Aston Bury, about 2.1 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Burn's Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What insurance they carry
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Burn's Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- 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.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
