About our ductwork cleaning in Datchet
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. We are often asked to deal with grease seeping out of the duct seams and high readings at a recent grease test, across attenuators, bends and junctions and vertical risers.
In a smaller place like Datchet, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Datchet
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Datchet
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Datchet can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Datchet
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 14 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs across Datchet and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Datchet. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Datchet get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you cook for passing trade around Datchet station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Datchet, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Datchet St Mary's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.

Questions from Datchet
Who is the fire and rescue service for Datchet?
Fire safety enforcement in Datchet is handled by 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.
Do you work overnight in Datchet?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Datchet doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not 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 work begins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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. That is our job.
