The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself 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 Hurstbourne Tarrant before we set off.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for 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. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

About our ductwork cleaning in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers vertical risers, bends and junctions and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease at the base of a riser and sections of duct with no access panels.
For a kitchen in or near Hurstbourne Tarrant, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Make sure filters are seated properly
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
