What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere like Tutts Clump, 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.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Tutts Clump
If the ducts in Tutts Clump haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. The work covers attenuators, bends and junctions and access panels, and the jobs we see most are ductwork that has never been cleaned and years of grease along the duct floor.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Tutts Clump: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Tutts Clump?
That’s West Berkshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tutts Clump. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Tutts Clump?
Yes, Tutts Clump is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Ductwork cleaning around Tutts Clump
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Tutts Clump and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Tutts Clump are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Tutts Clump is covered by 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Tutts Clump, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bradfield C.E. Primary School or anywhere near Tutts Clump, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Basildon Park is about 4.6 miles north), access may need planning.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
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 send you a fixed quote.
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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
