Ductwork cleaning in Rotherfield Peppard, done properly
No two duct runs are the same, in Rotherfield Peppard or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you have thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, access panels and horizontal duct runs onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Rotherfield Peppard, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
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 and sits alongside the report.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Rotherfield Peppard knowing what to expect.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Rotherfield Peppard rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Diarise the next duct clean
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.

In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
