How we handle ductwork cleaning in Horsleys Green
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. Common call-outs are for sections of duct with no access panels and high readings at a recent grease test, across attenuators, bends and junctions and vertical risers.
Somewhere as small as Horsleys Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Horsleys Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What else we do in Horsleys Green
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
Want a quote for ductwork cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Horsleys Green
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (West Wycombe Park House is about 2.7 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
