About our ductwork cleaning in Kiln Green
No two duct runs are the same, in Kiln Green or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. Typical jobs include duct runs with no cleaning record and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, across access panels, vertical risers and bends and junctions.
In a small place like Kiln Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Kiln Green kitchens: local notes
Look up Kiln Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Kiln Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Kiln Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Wokingham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kiln Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Harleyford Manor, about 3.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Kiln Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 4.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Common problems we fix in Kiln Green
Ducts in Kiln Green gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
For schools such as Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Kiln Green knowing what to expect.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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 photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
FAQs for Kiln Green
Which fire service covers Kiln Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Kiln Green is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work overnight in Kiln Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Kiln Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
What affects the quote in Kiln Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
