About our ductwork cleaning in Eastbury
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. If you have smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can help, from access panels, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Eastbury, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. 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. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Eastbury.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Eastbury: your questions answered
Is Eastbury within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eastbury is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Eastbury after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Eastbury can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What should I send you?
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. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What we are called out for in Eastbury
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Eastbury is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Around Eastbury, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day

What else we do in Eastbury
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A damper stuck open in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Eastbury
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why act early in Eastbury
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
