Why it’s worth doing now in Navestock Side
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. In a small place like Navestock Side, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- We are fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
Ductwork cleaning in Navestock Side, done properly
No two duct runs are the same, in Navestock Side or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. If you’re dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can help.
Work in a small place like Navestock Side starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are 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 the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
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. Damper testing is a separate service.
FAQs for Navestock Side
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Navestock Side?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Navestock Side. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Navestock Side?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Navestock Side keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Navestock Side.
- 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.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading

What else we do in Navestock Side
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Diarise the next duct clean
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
What affects the quote in Navestock Side
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
