Why act early in Holme Green

About our ductwork cleaning in Holme Green
No two duct runs are the same, in Holme Green or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. Typical jobs include smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and grease leaking from duct joints, across access panels, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Run the extract fan throughout service
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What affects the quote in Holme Green
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty fire dampers
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Common questions in Holme Green
Can school kitchens in Holme Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Holme Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 14 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Holme Green?
The local authority for Holme Green is Wokingham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Holme Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Kitchen extracts in Holme Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 20 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Holme Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Holme Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Holme Green are the job of Wokingham council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Pinewood Hospital, about 1.1 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Floreat Montague Park Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Sebastian's Church, or anywhere in Holme Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Holme Green before we set off.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
