Swan Bottom ductwork cleaning
Cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels in Swan Bottom, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
What happens if it’s left?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. Planning a trip to Swan Bottom ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Ductwork cleaning in Swan Bottom, done properly
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. If you’re dealing with years of grease along the duct floor and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can put it right, from vertical risers, access panels and multi-storey ducts onwards.
Work in a small place like Swan Bottom starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
If you need ductwork cleaning in Swan Bottom, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Never cook with a filter missing
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

Questions from Swan Bottom
Who is the fire and rescue service for Swan Bottom?
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Swan Bottom. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Swan Bottom after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Swan Bottom can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we install duct access panels. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is Swan Bottom in your area?
Yes. Swan Bottom is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Swan Bottom
Kitchens in Swan Bottom get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Swan Bottom is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

School kitchens, at schools like Lee Common Church of England School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Swan Bottom, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
