The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report.

- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Stondon Massey
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stondon Massey is Brentwood Community Hospital, about 4.2 miles south.

- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Questions from Stondon Massey
Will you come out to Stondon Massey?
Yes. Stondon Massey is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stondon Massey?
In Stondon Massey, it’s Brentwood 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.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Kitchen extracts in Stondon Massey
Look up Stondon Massey on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Stondon Massey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Kitchens in Stondon Massey get their food hygiene inspections from Brentwood council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Stondon Massey. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Stondon Massey, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ingatestone Hall is about 4.5 miles east), access may need planning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stondon Massey
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Stondon Massey does not stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. With notice, the visit to Stondon Massey can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
