About our ductwork cleaning in Caversham Park Village
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers access panels, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork that has never been cleaned and sections of duct with no access panels.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Caversham Park Village gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Caversham Park Village
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Caversham Park Village during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Caversham Park Village, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you work in Caversham Park Village outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Caversham Park Village keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In a place like Caversham Park Village, we fit the visit around your hours.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive

What else we do in Caversham Park Village
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep to the interval on the report
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we’re called out for in Caversham Park Village
Ducts in Caversham Park Village gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Caversham Park Village, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
