Loves Green ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Loves Green. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere as small as Loves Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Loves Green, done properly
Ductwork in Loves Green is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. We’re often asked to deal with a duct clean needed for an insurer and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, on multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs.
For a kitchen in or near Loves Green, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Never cook with a filter missing
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Loves Green
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why act early in Loves Green
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Loves Green does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. In a small place like Loves Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Loves Green
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Loves Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Loves Green are the job of Chelmsford council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Loves Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Chelmsford and Essex Hospital, about 3.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Loves Green is about 5 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Every kind of commercial site in Loves Green, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Loves Green is one of 644 places in Essex where we work for commercial clients.

Loves Green questions
Can you come to Loves Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Loves Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Loves Green?
Kitchens in Loves Green are inspected by Chelmsford council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
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 do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When to call us in Loves Green
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- High readings at a recent grease test
For schools such as Highwood Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
