How we handle ductwork cleaning in North Fambridge
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and high readings at a recent grease test.
For a kitchen in or near North Fambridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
What happens if it’s left?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in North Fambridge doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. It’s simpler to plan the work at North Fambridge now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What we’re called out for in North Fambridge
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
A kitchen near North Fambridge station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too.

- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
