- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Medmenham can be planned properly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

About our ductwork cleaning in Medmenham
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers vertical risers, bends and junctions and access panels, and the jobs we see most are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
For a kitchen in or near Medmenham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Medmenham
Do you work in villages like Medmenham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Medmenham?
Medmenham is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Medmenham
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Medmenham kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Medmenham. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. The fire and rescue service for Medmenham is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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. Kitchens in Medmenham get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Danesfield School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 1.3 miles east), access may need planning. Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Medmenham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
