About our ductwork cleaning in Hollington
We’ve 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. Typical jobs include fat dripping from the ductwork and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, across attenuators, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hollington run smoothly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Can extra access doors be added to the duct?

Common problems we fix in Hollington
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
School kitchens, at schools like St Thomas' Church of England Infant School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What hours they’ll be on site
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Faulty fire dampers
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators

- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned and the report has to say so.
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Ductwork cleaning in Hollington: the local picture
Hollington is about 57 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Hollington sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near Church of St Thomas, or anywhere in Hollington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hollington (Stargroves is about 0.8 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. A planned visit to Hollington is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
