What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
About our ductwork cleaning in Canewdon
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. If you are dealing with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, we can help, from vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions onwards.
In a small place like Canewdon, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When to call us in Canewdon
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
What we are most often called out for:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Southend University Hospital (about 4.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

FAQs for Canewdon
Do you work at weekends in Canewdon?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Canewdon does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Canewdon?
Canewdon is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Canewdon kitchens: local notes
Canewdon, about 37 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. The fire and rescue service for Canewdon is Essex County 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like King Edmund School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Canewdon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we do, step by step

The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The timing of a visit to Canewdon is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- 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

- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. We will recommend where they should go.
