About our ductwork cleaning in Weston
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Weston, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Weston questions
Do you work overnight in Weston?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Weston needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Weston?
Food hygiene inspections in Weston are carried out by West Berkshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. 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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. A fault that closes a site in a village like Weston affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

When to call us in Weston
Wherever the kitchen is, in Weston or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Thomas' Church, or anywhere in Weston, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

- Whether a written report and photos are included
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, 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.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Weston can be planned properly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
