Ductwork cleaning in Feering, done properly
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. 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 vertical risers, bends and junctions and access panels, and people most often call us about duct runs with no cleaning record and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
For a kitchen in or near Feering, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
What affects the quote in Feering
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Feering 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, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Ductwork cleaning around Feering
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways in Feering and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. In Feering, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Braintree council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Feering sits within the area of Essex County 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.
Historic houses near Feering, such as Layer Marney Tower about 3.8 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Feering Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A kitchen near Kelvedon station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Feering is about 5 miles north-east of Witham, in Essex. Every kind of commercial site in Feering, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

Around Feering
Typical jobs here are in premises near Brockwell Meadows, The Old Anchor Public House and Parish Church of St Mary. For rail, the closest station is Kelvedon station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Birch Castle (4.5 miles east) and Laundry & Mangle Museum (2.6 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Tiptree Heath Nature Reserve.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Feering: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Feering?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Feering. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Feering?
In Feering, it’s Braintree 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.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We plan the clean when you’re not cooking. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.

- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Getting ready for the visit
