Ductwork cleaning in Coley Park
We have 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, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Coley Park, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In a place like Coley Park, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for 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.

Ductwork cleaning in Coley Park: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 246 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 64 sandwich bars and takeaways in Coley Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. The fire and rescue service for Coley Park is Royal Berkshire 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. In Coley Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reading council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Battle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Coley Park, about 1 mile north-west. For schools such as St Mary & All Saints Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why act early in Coley Park
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)

What else we do in Coley Park
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that can’t be safely reached is recorded.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
FAQs for Coley Park
Can you get to a site in Coley Park?
Yes, Coley Park is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Coley Park?
Kitchens in Coley Park are inspected by Reading council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. 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. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Common problems we fix in Coley Park
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
If you cook for passing trade around Reading West station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
