Somewhere as small as Cranbourne, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Ductwork cleaning in Cranbourne: the local picture
Look up Cranbourne on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Cranbourne. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Cranbourne is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Bracknell Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cranbourne. 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Cranbourne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cranbourne is Heatherwood Hospital, about 2.8 miles south.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Cranbourne
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
What we are most often called out for:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cranbourne (St Leonard's Hill is about 1.5 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere as small as Cranbourne, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Cranbourne questions
Can you come to Cranbourne after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Cranbourne?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
