Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stoke Poges
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are fat dripping from the ductwork and years of grease along the duct floor.
In a smaller place like Stoke Poges, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Tell us when your site near Stoke Poges is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

When to call us in Stoke Poges
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Stoke Poges School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Check readings when the menu changes
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.

What else we do in Stoke Poges
Ductwork cleaning in Stoke Poges: the local picture

Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Stoke Poges is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Stoke Poges, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stoke Poges
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Stoke Poges
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stoke Poges?
Food hygiene inspections in Stoke Poges are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stoke Poges?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stoke Poges. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
