Ductwork Cleaning in Stubbings
Ductwork cleaning for Stubbings, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Stubbings
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. Common call-outs are for an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and high readings at a recent grease test, on horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and bends and junctions.
Work in a small place like Stubbings starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Stubbings questions
Can school kitchens in Stubbings be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 17 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stubbings. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stubbings?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stubbings. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you work in Stubbings?
Yes. We cover Stubbings and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Grease, kitchens and Stubbings
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stubbings. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Food hygiene inspections in Stubbings are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Stubbings is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stubbings is St Mark's Hospital, about 1.4 miles east. Where a hall near Church of St. James the Less, or anywhere in Stubbings, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Stubbings is about 2 miles west of Maidenhead, in Windsor and Maidenhead. From the centre of Stubbings to the outskirts, we cover ductwork cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

Why deal with it now?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. In a small place like Stubbings, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere like Stubbings, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Windsor and Maidenhead. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

What we are called out for in Stubbings
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Look out for any of the following:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
