Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Any part that cannot be safely reached is recorded.
Ductwork cleaning in Gosford, done properly
Each extract duct we take on in Gosford goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. Typical jobs include fat dripping from the ductwork and years of grease along the duct floor, on attenuators, horizontal duct runs and access panels.
For a kitchen in or near Gosford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Gosford?
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
School kitchens, at schools like Edward Feild Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What affects the quote in Gosford
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, 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. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Gosford.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Gosford and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Gosford questions
Will you come out to Gosford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Gosford is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can school kitchens in Gosford be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Gosford, the Food Standards Agency lists about 9 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
