- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs

Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
About our ductwork cleaning in Gundleton
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers vertical risers, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about duct runs that can’t be reached and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
Somewhere as small as Gundleton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Faulty fire dampers
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Gundleton?
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Gundleton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
