How we handle ductwork cleaning in Stambourne Green
Each extract duct we take on in Stambourne Green goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are thick crusts of old grease along the duct and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Stambourne Green
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Stambourne Green is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Kitchens in Stambourne Green get a clean bill of health at the end: a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Stambourne Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stambourne Green?
In Stambourne Green, it’s Braintree council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stambourne Green?
That is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we install duct access panels. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Only while we are working, and we work around you. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stambourne Green before we set off.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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 may start to leak from joints. In a small place like Stambourne Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
