FAQs for Twyford
Can you get to a site in Twyford?
Yes. Twyford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Twyford after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Twyford can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Ductwork cleaning in Twyford, done properly
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. We are often asked to deal with years of grease along the duct floor and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, on vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts.
Kitchens around a place like Twyford are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Common problems we fix in Twyford
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease leaking from duct joints
School kitchens, at schools like Polehampton Church of England Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to 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.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Your opening hours decide when we come to Twyford, not ours.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Ductwork cleaning around Twyford
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Twyford. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Twyford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wokingham council. 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. Twyford sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Berkshire Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to Twyford station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
