Ductwork cleaning in Ryeish Green, done properly
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
Work in a small place like Ryeish Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Why act early in Ryeish Green
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Planning a trip to Ryeish Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
FAQs for Ryeish Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ryeish Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Ryeish Green are carried out by Wokingham council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Ryeish Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Ryeish Green is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
How long will the duct clean take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Ryeish Green knowing what to expect.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Kitchen extracts in Ryeish Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ryeish Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Ryeish Green get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Ryeish Green. 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.
Historic houses near Ryeish Green, such as Stratfield Saye House about 4 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Ryeish Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Make sure filters are seated properly
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. We’ll recommend where they should go.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Ryeish Green
Grease filters that don’t seal let fat straight through. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped, and build-up speeds up.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
A hospital like Royal Berkshire Hospital, about 3.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
