Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Holloway
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you’re dealing with readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Holloway, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Holloway
Can school kitchens in Holloway be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 9 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Holloway, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Holloway?
Yes, Holloway is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, and test again when we are done.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Holloway kitchens: local notes
Look up Holloway on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Holloway. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Holloway sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Holloway. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Holloway, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mark's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Holloway, about 1.8 miles east.

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
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.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Holloway
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. For a village or hamlet like Holloway, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Holloway
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

When something else is needed
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
