How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The timing of a visit to Sindlesham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Ductwork cleaning in Sindlesham, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers attenuators, horizontal duct runs and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are stale grease odours from the duct and duct runs with no cleaning record.
Somewhere as small as Sindlesham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the quote in Sindlesham
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is 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:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Ductwork cleaning around Sindlesham
The FSA’s data shows about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Sindlesham. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Sindlesham sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Wokingham council inspect food businesses in Sindlesham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Bearwood Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sindlesham is Wokingham Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-east.

Common questions in Sindlesham
Can you come to Sindlesham after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Sindlesham keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Sindlesham?
That’s Wokingham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Sindlesham. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Do you install duct access panels?
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.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Wokingham. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Sindlesham?
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
For kitchens close to Winnersh station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Also in Sindlesham
Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. It’s simpler to plan the work at Sindlesham 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 work begins, so there are no surprises.
