Ductwork cleaning in Wexham Street, done properly
Ductwork in Wexham Street is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. Typical jobs include readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and heavy grease at the base of a riser, across bends and junctions, vertical risers and attenuators.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Any part that can’t be safely reached is recorded.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wexham Street
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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, which is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wexham Street.

Common questions in Wexham Street
Can school kitchens in Wexham Street be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wexham Street. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Wexham Street?
That is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
