- Years of grease along the duct floor
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep your cleaning records together
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Wokefield
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and fat dripping from the ductwork.
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.
A written report with photos follows every 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.

Wokefield kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Wokefield. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Wokefield. 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. Wokefield sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Wokefield is Battle Hospital, about 4.6 miles north. Stratfield Saye House, about 3.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Wokefield; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. School kitchens, at schools like The Willink School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What happens if it’s left?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Wokefield does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Somewhere as small as Wokefield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Wokefield questions
Is Wokefield within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in Wokefield?
Kitchens in Wokefield are inspected by West Berkshire council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere like Wokefield, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What affects the quote in Wokefield
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
