Ductwork cleaning in Purleigh, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with sections of duct with no access panels and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
In a small place like Purleigh, 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 report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Purleigh questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Purleigh?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Purleigh. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Does being near the coast affect ductwork cleaning in Purleigh?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Purleigh than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Purleigh?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Kitchen extracts in Purleigh
At about 3 miles from the coast, Purleigh is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Purleigh. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Purleigh, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Purleigh Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Purleigh (Danbury Place is about 4.7 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere around Purleigh, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure filters are seated properly
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Why deal with it now?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Purleigh is calmer for everyone.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Purleigh and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
