Buckinghamshire · Ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Kingswood, Buckinghamshire
Ductwork cleaning in Kingswood from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Run the extract fan throughout service
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Ductwork cleaning in Kingswood
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include duct runs with no cleaning record and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, on horizontal duct runs, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
For a kitchen in or near Kingswood, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Kingswood, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- 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.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

We measure it. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.

Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
