Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dedworth
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers attenuators, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and fat dripping from the ductwork.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Dedworth gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Do not switch the extract off early
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.

What affects the quote in Dedworth
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- 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 paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts

Common problems we fix in Dedworth
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Dedworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

- Whether a survey comes first
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. For a site near Dedworth, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Dedworth questions
Which environmental health team covers Dedworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Dedworth are carried out by Windsor and Maidenhead council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Dedworth within the area you cover?
Yes, Dedworth 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 to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
