About our ductwork cleaning in Newney Green
If the ducts in Newney Green haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. If you have a rancid smell from the extract duct and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and vertical risers onwards.
In a small place like Newney Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. We’ll recommend where they should go.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Newney Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
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.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Newney Green
Do you work overnight in Newney Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Newney Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newney Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Newney Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Newney Green run smoothly.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Common problems we fix in Newney Green
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hylands is about 2.7 miles south-east), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Newney Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Newney Green. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Food hygiene inspections in Newney Green are the job of Chelmsford council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Newney Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
