Ductwork cleaning in Cockpole Green, done properly
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way 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 horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease at the base of a riser and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer.
In a village or hamlet like Cockpole 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we’re called out for in Cockpole Green
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Crazies Hill CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Check readings when the menu changes
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Questions from Cockpole Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cockpole Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Cockpole Green are carried out by Windsor and Maidenhead council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will you come out to Cockpole Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cockpole Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cockpole Green.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Why act early in Cockpole Green
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. A planned visit to Cockpole Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cockpole Green
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Ductwork cleaning in Cockpole Green: the local picture
Fire safety in Cockpole Green falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Cockpole Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 4.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's Mission Church or elsewhere in Cockpole Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
