Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Weedon
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. If you are dealing with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and high readings at a recent grease test, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and access panels onwards.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Weedon.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Weedon hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Weedon rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- A written report with pictures after each visit

Weedon questions
Do you work overnight in Weedon?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Weedon?
Kitchens in Weedon are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What we are called out for in Weedon
Ducts in Weedon gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: 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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Old School Room Chapel, or anywhere in Weedon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Kitchen extracts in Weedon
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Weedon. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Weedon is covered by Buckinghamshire 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. Food hygiene inspections in Weedon are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tindal Centre is the nearest hospital to Weedon, about 2.4 miles south. For schools such as Old School Room Chapel, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
