Ductwork cleaning in Fyfield, Essex

- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Ductwork cleaning in Fyfield
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Fyfield, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Faulty fire dampers
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Fyfield
The fire and rescue service for Fyfield is 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. Kitchens in Fyfield get their food hygiene inspections from Epping Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Ongar Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
When to call us in Fyfield
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Fyfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Fyfield: your questions answered
Can the work in Fyfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Fyfield can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Fyfield?
The local authority for Fyfield is Epping Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Fyfield can be planned properly.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
