Wingrave questions
Do you work overnight in Wingrave?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Wingrave?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wingrave is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. Keep both in the maintenance log.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
About our ductwork cleaning in Wingrave
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. Typical jobs include stale grease odours from the duct and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, on horizontal duct runs, attenuators and bends and junctions.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Wingrave
Fire safety in Wingrave falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Wingrave get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Wingrave, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wingrave Church of England Combined School or anywhere near Wingrave, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Ascott House, about 2.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Wingrave; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Part by part
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.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.
How we price ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For ductwork cleaning in Wingrave, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.

What else we do in Wingrave
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wingrave.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wingrave
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. With notice, the visit to Wingrave can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
