What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. We will recommend where they should go.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Coryton
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions, and the jobs we see most are a duct nobody has opened in years and a grease test showing the duct is overdue.
For a kitchen in or near Coryton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Coryton
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What affects the quote in Coryton
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Coryton questions
Which fire service covers Coryton?
Fire safety enforcement in Coryton is handled by 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.
Will you come out to Coryton?
Yes, Coryton is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Environmental health officers from Thurrock council inspect food businesses in Coryton. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day.

When to call us in Coryton
Wherever the kitchen is, in Coryton or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basildon University Hospital (about 3.9 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before booking anyone

- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The timing of a visit to Coryton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
