Windsor and Maidenhead · Ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Frogmill, Windsor and Maidenhead
One call covers ductwork cleaning in Frogmill, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Ductwork cleaning in Frogmill
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. If you have smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, we can put it right, from bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards.
Work in a small place like Frogmill starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself 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 Frogmill before we set off.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
FAQs for Frogmill
Can you work in Frogmill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Frogmill keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Frogmill?
That is Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Frogmill. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
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.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Frogmill
Ductwork cleaning in Frogmill: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Frogmill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Frogmill are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Frogmill is 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.
Historic houses near Frogmill, such as Harleyford Manor about 1 mile north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Marlow Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Frogmill, about 3.2 miles north-east.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Frogmill
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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 make a difference.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Frogmill
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. In a small place like Frogmill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

When to call us in Frogmill
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Frogmill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
