How we price ductwork cleaning

You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:

  • The condition we find in the survey
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The number of sites or systems
  • Any permits to work or inductions

What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Helping us quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to have:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The site address and the type of premises

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Ductwork cleaning in East Claydon, done properly

If the ducts in East Claydon haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. If you have duct runs with no cleaning record and high readings at a recent grease test, we can help.

For a kitchen in or near East Claydon, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:

  • Keep your cleaning records together
  • Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
  • Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
  • Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock

A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.

The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to East Claydon.

  1. The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
  2. Grease thickness is measured at set points.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
  4. Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
  5. Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.

How to prepare

  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Why deal with it now?

Booking the duct clean in East Claydon now keeps it a planned job. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

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 send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What staff can safely do

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

FAQs for East Claydon

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Claydon?

Food hygiene inspections in East Claydon are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Which fire authority looks after East Claydon?

That’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

What does TR19 mean?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?

Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
