Ductwork cleaning in Sandhurst, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and stale grease odours from the duct, we can help, from vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and attenuators onwards.
Around a town like Sandhurst, extract cleaning normally means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What we are called out for in Sandhurst
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Stale grease odours from the duct
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St George's Church or elsewhere in Sandhurst, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How VAT is shown on the quote
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Faulty fire dampers
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Access panels
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Grease, kitchens and Sandhurst
Food Standards Agency data counts about 36 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Sandhurst. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Sandhurst sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Sandhurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sandhurst School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Pinewood Hospital about 2.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We arrive in Sandhurst once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
