How we handle ductwork cleaning in Priestwood Green
Each extract duct we take on in Priestwood Green goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. If you’re dealing with heavy grease at the base of a riser and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Priestwood Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
What affects the quote in Priestwood Green
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens if it’s left?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Priestwood Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.

The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
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 a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
