How we handle ductwork cleaning in Egypt
No two duct runs are the same, in Egypt or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers bends and junctions, access panels and horizontal duct runs, 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 Egypt, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Ductwork cleaning in Egypt: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Egypt and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Egypt falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Egypt are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wexham Park Hospital (about 2.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cliveden is about 3 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Egypt, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Egypt
Which council inspects kitchens in Egypt?
In Egypt, it’s Buckinghamshire 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.
Will you come out to Egypt?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Egypt included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
We plan the clean when you are not cooking. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures 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 any work starts.

The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Egypt, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Egypt

Managing agents and facilities teams in Egypt
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
