How we handle ductwork cleaning in Stanford Dingley
Ductwork in Stanford Dingley is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. If you are dealing with fat dripping from the ductwork and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Stanford Dingley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Stanford Dingley?
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West Berkshire Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stanford Dingley, about 5.7 miles south-west.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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, which is where we come in.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Stanford Dingley
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Stanford Dingley: your questions answered
Can the work in Stanford Dingley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Stanford Dingley keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Stanford Dingley within the area you cover?
Yes. Stanford Dingley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
How long will the duct clean take?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
We measure it. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we are done.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stanford Dingley knowing what to expect.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
