Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Ductwork cleaning in Newland Green
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Newland Green
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

FAQs for Newland Green
Can you get to a site in Newland Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Newland Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Newland Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Newland Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We will confirm the time when we quote.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
We measure it. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Newland Green can be planned properly.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Newland Green
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Egerton Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
