How we handle ductwork cleaning in Remenham Hill
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. The work covers access panels, attenuators and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about grease pooling at the foot of the riser and grease leaking from duct joints.
In a small place like Remenham Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Remenham Hill
Ducts in Remenham Hill gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Remenham Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- What records you will receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Remenham Hill, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Remenham Hill: your questions answered
Is Remenham Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Remenham Hill is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Remenham Hill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Remenham Hill needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
Grease, kitchens and Remenham Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 17 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Remenham Hill. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Wokingham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Remenham Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Remenham Hill is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
