Ductwork cleaning in Eddington, West Berkshire
Ductwork cleaning for Eddington, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
About our ductwork cleaning in Eddington
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers multi-storey ducts, attenuators and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct with no access panels and a duct nobody has opened in years.
In a village or hamlet like Eddington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the quote in Eddington
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Booking the duct clean in Eddington now keeps it a planned job. The work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Full insurance on every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Eddington before we set off.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Ductwork cleaning around Eddington
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Eddington. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eddington. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Eddington. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Church and community hall kitchens, near Hungerford Methodist Church or anywhere around Eddington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common questions in Eddington
Which council inspects kitchens in Eddington?
Kitchens in Eddington are inspected by West Berkshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Eddington?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
