When to call us in Drayton Parslow
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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Bletchley Park, about 3.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Drayton Parslow; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Ductwork cleaning in Drayton Parslow
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers attenuators, vertical risers and access panels, and people most often call us about duct runs with no cleaning record and duct runs that can’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Drayton Parslow, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Check readings when the menu changes
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
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 is our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What else we do in Drayton Parslow
What the work involves, 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.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. We’ll recommend where they should go.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Drayton Parslow, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Drayton Parslow
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Drayton Parslow during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Drayton Parslow, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Drayton Parslow?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Drayton Parslow keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
