Ductwork Cleaning in Curridge

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.

Bends and transitions

Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.

Curridge kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Curridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Curridge. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Curridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Curridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Curridge Primary School or anywhere near Curridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Curridge (Shaw House is about 2.5 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
