About our ductwork cleaning in Radley Green
Each extract duct we take on in Radley Green goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you have ductwork that has never been cleaned and duct runs that can’t be reached, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Radley Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part
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.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Ductwork cleaning around Radley Green
Radley Green sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hylands is about 3.9 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What affects the quote in Radley Green
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere like Radley Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Common questions in Radley Green
Which fire service covers Radley Green?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Radley Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Radley Green?
Kitchens in Radley Green are inspected by Chelmsford council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is Radley Green in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Radley Green included.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
When to call us in Radley Green
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chelmsford and Essex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Radley Green, about 4.8 miles east.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
