How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Little Heath.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little Heath
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. Typical jobs include years of grease along the duct floor and a rancid smell from the extract duct, across access panels, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs.
In a smaller place like Little Heath, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common questions in Little Heath
Which fire service covers Little Heath?
That is Essex County 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.
Is Little Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Little Heath is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Are you insured?

Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What affects the quote in Little Heath
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need ductwork cleaning in Little Heath, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Little Heath kitchens: local notes
There are about 89 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 81 takeaways across Little Heath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Environmental health officers from Redbridge council inspect food businesses in Little Heath. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Little Heath. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Grove Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Mark's, or anywhere in Little Heath, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For kitchens close to Chadwell Heath station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
