About our ductwork cleaning in Holyport
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 cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you’re dealing with heavy grease at the base of a riser and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and access panels onwards.
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.
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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Part by part
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Faulty fire dampers
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Holyport
Can school kitchens in Holyport be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Holyport. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Is Holyport within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Holyport included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
How long will the duct clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Kitchen extracts in Holyport
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 20 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Holyport. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Fire safety in Holyport falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Holyport are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Holyport (Dorney Court is about 2.2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 2.5 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we’re called out for in Holyport
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
School kitchens, at schools like Holyport CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with the ductwork in Holyport now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why Holyport businesses choose us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Run the extract fan throughout service
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Holyport are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
