Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Flexford
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Flexford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
About our ductwork cleaning in Flexford
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. We are often asked to deal with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and ductwork that has never been cleaned, across vertical risers, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
Work in a small place like Flexford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned and the report has to say so.

The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Flexford knowing what to expect.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Common questions in Flexford
Do you cover smaller places like Flexford?
Yes, Flexford is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Flexford?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
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.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
