Ductwork cleaning in Leigh, done properly
Ductwork in Leigh is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. Common call-outs are for a grease test showing the duct is overdue and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, across access panels, attenuators and bends and junctions.
For a kitchen in or near Leigh, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Leigh
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leigh
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What we’re called out for in Leigh
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
A hospital like East Surrey Hospital, about 3.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Leigh questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Leigh during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Leigh, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Leigh after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Leigh needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Leigh, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
