Ductwork cleaning in Easton, done properly
Ductwork in Easton is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. If you are dealing with grease seeping out of the duct seams and sections of duct with no access panels, we can put it right.
In a small place like Easton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Easton: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Easton?
Easton is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which council inspects kitchens in Easton?
In Easton, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens if there aren’t 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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What affects the quote in Easton
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Faulty fire dampers
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that can’t be safely reached is recorded.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Don’t switch the extract off early
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
Why deal with it now?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Easton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Easton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Easton kitchens: local notes
At about 56 miles from central London, Easton sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Easton is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Gregory or anywhere around Easton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Benham Park is about 3.1 miles south-east), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Easton is West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 5.5 miles south-east.
Easton is about 5 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. From the centre of Easton to the outskirts, ductwork cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building.
