Ductwork cleaning in Coleshill
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. If you’re dealing with proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Coleshill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. In a small place like Coleshill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Coleshill
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Coleshill and across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What we’re called out for in Coleshill
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- High readings at a recent grease test
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Coleshill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Coleshill: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Coleshill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Coleshill can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Coleshill?
Food hygiene inspections in Coleshill are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long will the duct clean take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Coleshill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars across Coleshill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Coleshill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Coleshill is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Coleshill (Chenies Manor House is about 4.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Coleshill Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Coleshill.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Duct sections that need replacing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
