About our ductwork cleaning in Quelm Park
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. Typical jobs include a duct nobody has opened in years and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, on vertical risers, attenuators and horizontal duct runs.
Kitchens around a place like Quelm Park are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Grease, kitchens and Quelm Park
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Quelm Park. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Quelm Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Quelm Park is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like Sandy Lane Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 3 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew or elsewhere in Quelm Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. For a place like Quelm Park, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Why deal with it now?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. Booking now means the visit to Quelm Park is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Questions from Quelm Park
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Quelm Park in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Quelm Park. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Is Quelm Park within the area you cover?
Yes, Quelm Park is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
We measure it. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). BESA guidance says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns, and 500 or more anywhere needs immediate spot cleaning.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, and test again when we are done.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
