About our ductwork cleaning in Newport
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. Common call-outs are for grease seeping out of the duct seams and duct runs that can’t be reached, across bends and junctions, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
In a smaller place like Newport, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Newport questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Newport?
The local authority for Newport is Uttlesford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newport?
Fire safety enforcement in Newport is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

Ductwork cleaning in Newport: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Newport and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Environmental health officers from Uttlesford council inspect food businesses in Newport. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Newport sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Newport is Saffron Walden Community Hospital, about 3.3 miles north-east. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Newport, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Newport is about 3 miles south-west of Saffron Walden, in Essex. Whether your site is in the middle of Newport or further out, ductwork cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Newport is one of 644 towns, villages and districts in Essex where we work for commercial clients. Chelmsford is in our area too, around 21 miles away.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Newport
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Joyce Frankland Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newport
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A site near Newport that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
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. We test those as a separate job.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Your opening hours decide when we come to Newport, not ours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
