Headbourne Worthy ductwork cleaning
Looking for ductwork cleaning in Headbourne Worthy? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Headbourne Worthy
Ductwork in Headbourne Worthy is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: 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. The work covers bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct with no access panels and ductwork that has never been cleaned.
For a kitchen in or near Headbourne Worthy, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep to the interval on the report
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.

Advice
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Headbourne Worthy
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Do you work in Headbourne Worthy?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Headbourne Worthy.
How far ahead should we book?

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Why deal with it now?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. A fault that closes a site in a village like Headbourne Worthy affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Common problems we fix in Headbourne Worthy
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Headbourne Worthy, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
