Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep your cleaning records together
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
About our ductwork cleaning in Sunnymeads
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for a duct clean needed for an insurer and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, on access panels, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts.
Work in a small place like Sunnymeads 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Ductwork cleaning in Sunnymeads: the local picture
Look up Sunnymeads on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 23 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Sunnymeads, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. The fire and rescue service for Sunnymeads is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sunnymeads. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you cook for passing trade around Sunnymeads station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as King Edward VII Hospital (about 2.4 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

When to call us in Sunnymeads
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Sunnymeads as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wraysbury Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a village or hamlet like Sunnymeads, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
FAQs for Sunnymeads
Can a school canteen extract in Sunnymeads be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 12 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Sunnymeads. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Sunnymeads be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run can’t be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
