Why it’s worth doing now in Salters Heath
Grease left in a duct in Salters Heath hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Salters Heath now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Ductwork cleaning in Salters Heath
Ductwork in Salters Heath is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. The work covers bends and junctions, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are duct runs that can’t be reached and a duct nobody has opened in years.
For a kitchen in or near Salters Heath, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Salters Heath?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 2.5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book

Salters Heath: your questions answered
Is Salters Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Salters Heath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Salters Heath be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Salters Heath can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
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.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Salters Heath is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
