Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hurst
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. Typical jobs include proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and a rancid smell from the extract duct, across horizontal duct runs, access panels and bends and junctions.
In a village or hamlet like Hurst, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Hurst
Can the work in Hurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Hurst?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hurst affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hurst and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

When to call us in Hurst
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Hurst as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Nicholas Church of England Primary, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Ductwork cleaning in Hurst: the local picture
There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hurst, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Food hygiene inspections in Hurst are the job of Wokingham council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Hurst is 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wokingham Hospital (about 3.2 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.

Part by part
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.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
