About our ductwork cleaning in Paglesham Eastend
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers onwards.
In a small place like Paglesham Eastend, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Common problems we fix in Paglesham Eastend
Wherever the kitchen is, in Paglesham Eastend or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
What we are most often called out for:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Paglesham Eastend is Southend University Hospital, about 5.9 miles south-west.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Paglesham Eastend
It’s Rochford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Paglesham Eastend. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. About 39 miles out from central London, Paglesham Eastend is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peters Mission Hall, or anywhere in Paglesham Eastend, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Why deal with it now?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Paglesham Eastend is calmer for everyone.

Questions from Paglesham Eastend
Which environmental health team covers Paglesham Eastend?
In Paglesham Eastend, it’s Rochford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.

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. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you cover Paglesham Eastend?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Paglesham Eastend.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we are done.
