Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Ductwork cleaning in Walton Manor
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. 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. If you are dealing with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can help, from attenuators, bends and junctions and vertical risers onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Walton Manor, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Visits to a place like Walton Manor are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Walton Manor?
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Aloysius' Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Walton Manor, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Walton Manor: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Walton Manor?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Walton Manor. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work in villages like Walton Manor?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Walton Manor included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. BESA guidance says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns, and 500 or more anywhere needs immediate spot cleaning.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Booking the duct clean in Walton Manor now keeps it a planned job. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. A quieter site near Walton Manor still needs its system looked after.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Diarise the next duct clean
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
