Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Ductwork cleaning in Puckpool, done properly
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. The work covers access panels, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
For a kitchen in or near Puckpool, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Puckpool, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Run the extract fan throughout service
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
When to call us in Puckpool
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Puckpool
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Questions from Puckpool
Does being near the coast affect ductwork cleaning in Puckpool?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Puckpool gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you cover smaller places like Puckpool?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
