Common problems we fix in Touchen-end
Wherever the kitchen is, in Touchen-end or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
School kitchens, at schools like Holyport College for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Touchen-end
Will you come out to Touchen-end?
Yes. Touchen-end is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Touchen-end?
In Touchen-end, it’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Kitchen extracts in Touchen-end
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Touchen-end, up to about a mile and a half out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Touchen-end. 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. Fire safety in Touchen-end falls to 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 2.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Touchen-end (Dorney Court is about 2.9 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Touchen-end
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Touchen-end can be planned properly.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
