Ductwork cleaning in Hurley
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. If you are dealing with grease seeping out of the duct seams and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Hurley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hurley
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Hurley does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. If the system at a site near Hurley fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hurley.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
When to call us in Hurley
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hurley is Marlow Community Hospital, about 2.6 miles north-east.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
How we price ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Grease, kitchens and Hurley
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Hurley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Fire safety in Hurley falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Hurley get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Hurley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Danesfield School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Common questions in Hurley
Can a school canteen extract in Hurley be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Hurley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire authority looks after Hurley?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hurley. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
