How we handle ductwork cleaning in Sedrup
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. If you are dealing with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and a duct nobody has opened in years, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Sedrup, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep to the interval on the report
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Ductwork cleaning in Sedrup: the local picture
There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sedrup, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Food hygiene inspections in Sedrup are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Sedrup is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Hospital about 1.5 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Stone Church of England Combined School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Sedrup is about 2 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. We provide ductwork cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Sedrup and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Sedrup is one of 263 towns, villages and districts in Buckinghamshire where we work for ductwork cleaning. We also work in Oxford, about 17 miles from Sedrup.

Common problems we fix in Sedrup
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Sedrup, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Sedrup: your questions answered
Will you come out to Sedrup?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sedrup is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Sedrup during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 11 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Sedrup. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Only while we’re working, and we work around you. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Sedrup.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Any part that can’t be safely reached is recorded.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
