Ductwork cleaning in Cox Green, done properly
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. We are often asked to deal with grease leaking from duct joints and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, across bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
Kitchens around a place like Cox Green are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.

Why act early in Cox Green
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. In a smaller place like Cox Green, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Around Cox Green, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Cox Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 17 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Cox Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Cox Green get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Cox Green. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Dorney Court is about 3.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cox Green is St Mark's Hospital, about 1.2 miles north.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Cox Green?
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wessex Primary School or anywhere near Cox Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Questions from Cox Green
Do you work in villages like Cox Green?
Yes, Cox Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Cox Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Cox Green keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Duct sections that need replacing

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
