Ductwork cleaning in Preston Candover, done properly
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. If you’re dealing with high readings at a recent grease test and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Preston Candover, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Preston Candover questions
Do you cover smaller places like Preston Candover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Preston Candover?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
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. You get a fixed price before we start.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The timing of a visit to Preston Candover is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, which is one of the points we test.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Preston Candover
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Preston Candover, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
