How we handle ductwork cleaning in Dibden Purlieu
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers access panels, attenuators and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are fat dripping from the ductwork and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Dibden Purlieu gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a place like Dibden Purlieu are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Common questions in Dibden Purlieu
Can a school canteen extract in Dibden Purlieu be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Dibden Purlieu. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can sea air affect ductwork cleaning in Dibden Purlieu?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Dibden Purlieu gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
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.
Is Dibden Purlieu in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Dibden Purlieu.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, and test again when we are done.
Why act early in Dibden Purlieu
Grease left in a duct in Dibden Purlieu hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep your cleaning records together
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
