Duct cleaning in Newbury's
Need ductwork cleaning in Newbury's? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Newbury's knowing what to expect.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Ductwork cleaning in Newbury's
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. Common call-outs are for an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and gaps where access panels were never fitted, on bends and junctions, attenuators and vertical risers.
Somewhere as small as Newbury's, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
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.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Newbury's
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Grease, kitchens and Newbury's
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Newbury's, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newbury's. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Newbury's. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near Rehoboth Chapel, or anywhere in Newbury's, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 2.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Wadhurst Castle is about 1.5 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Newbury's
Do you cover smaller places like Newbury's?
Yes. Newbury's is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Newbury's?
In Newbury's, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What information do you need?
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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Newbury's
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Why deal with it now?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. A fault that closes a site in a village like Newbury's affects everyone who depends on it.
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’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
