Ductwork cleaning in Myrke
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers access panels, attenuators and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and grease leaking from duct joints.
Work in a small place like Myrke 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the quote in Myrke
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Grease, kitchens and Myrke
The Food Standards Agency lists about 25 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 12 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Myrke, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Myrke get their food hygiene inspections from Slough council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Myrke. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like Long Close School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Upton Hospital about 0.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Laurence or elsewhere in Myrke, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Myrke is about 1 mile south-east of Slough, in Slough. We provide ductwork cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Myrke and the rest of Slough. We cover 31 places across Slough, from busy centres to quieter spots. There’s also a page for Reading, roughly 17 miles from Myrke.

Questions from Myrke
Can a school canteen extract in Myrke be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 45 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Myrke, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Myrke?
Food hygiene inspections in Myrke are carried out by Slough council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we do. We will point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
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.
Do you work in Myrke?
Yes. We work in Myrke and the rest of Slough, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a village or hamlet like Myrke, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep your cleaning records together
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.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
