About our ductwork cleaning in Shenfield
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. If you have proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and a rancid smell from the extract duct, we can put it right, from attenuators, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs onwards.
Around a smaller place like Shenfield, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We have 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 carry full insurance.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Shenfield
Can you come to Shenfield after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Shenfield keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Shenfield?
That is Essex County 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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Is Shenfield in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Shenfield included.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Why act early in Shenfield
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. In a smaller place like Shenfield, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shenfield
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep to the interval on the report
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.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Around Shenfield, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Shenfield
The Food Standards Agency lists about 36 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shenfield. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Shenfield is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Shenfield get their food hygiene inspections from Brentwood council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Shenfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run can’t be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
When to call us in Shenfield
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Shenfield St. Mary's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
