- Stale grease odours from the duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Ductwork cleaning in West Bedfont
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you’re dealing with grease seeping out of the duct seams and high readings at a recent grease test, we can help.
In a small place like West Bedfont, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Common problems we fix in West Bedfont
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ashford Hospital (about 0.7 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to West Bedfont can be planned properly.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Why act early in West Bedfont
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Planning a trip to West Bedfont ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Common questions in West Bedfont
Is West Bedfont within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and West Bedfont is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in West Bedfont?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in West Bedfont can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
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.
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?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Grease, kitchens and West Bedfont
The FSA’s data shows about 15 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central West Bedfont. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in West Bedfont get their food hygiene inspections from Spelthorne council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers West Bedfont. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School or anywhere near West Bedfont, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in West Bedfont, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
