Ductwork cleaning in Slough Green
No two duct runs are the same, in Slough Green or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you are dealing with proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and attenuators onwards.
In a small place like Slough Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Slough Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Slough Green?
The local authority for Slough Green is Mid Sussex council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Slough Green?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Slough Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Do you work in Slough Green?
Yes. Slough Green is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we’ll recommend where.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Slough Green?
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Warden Park School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Slough Green
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Slough Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. In Slough Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Slough Green is West Sussex 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Tyes Place is about 1.3 miles north), access may need planning. A hospital like The Dene Hospital, about 3.7 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that was poorly designed

What we work on in Slough Green
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
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.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Slough Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
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, you get a fixed price before work begins.
