Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dengie
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. The work covers bends and junctions, attenuators and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a duct clean needed for an insurer and fat dripping from the ductwork.
In a village or hamlet like Dengie, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What happens on the day
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 a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. For a village or hamlet like Dengie, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- 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.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Dengie
At about 3 miles from the coast, Dengie is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. It’s Maldon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dengie. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Dengie. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Dengie, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common problems we fix in Dengie
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Whether the kitchen is in Dengie itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

FAQs for Dengie
Can you get to a site in Dengie?
Yes, Dengie 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 Dengie be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Dengie keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How long will the duct clean take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Do you install duct access panels?
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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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 to a regular schedule.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
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.
