About our ductwork cleaning in Little Tey
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and years of grease along the duct floor, we can put it right, from attenuators, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards.
Work in a small place like Little Tey starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Little Tey
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Little Tey.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

FAQs for Little Tey
Do you cover smaller places like Little Tey?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Little Tey is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Little Tey?
Food hygiene inspections in Little Tey are carried out by Colchester council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Little Tey
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Ductwork cleaning around Little Tey
Look up Little Tey on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Little Tey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. The fire and rescue service for Little Tey is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Colchester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Little Tey. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Little Tey (Layer Marney Tower is about 4.4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Little Tey, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Honywood Community Science School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
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.
