Why it’s worth doing now in Woodend
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. In a place like Woodend, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

Ductwork cleaning in Woodend
Each extract duct we take on in Woodend goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. We are often asked to deal with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and heavy grease at the base of a riser, on horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
For a kitchen in or near Woodend, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The timing of a visit to Woodend is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Managing agents and facilities teams in Woodend
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
FAQs for Woodend
Can a school canteen extract in Woodend be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Woodend, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Woodend?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Woodend. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long will the duct clean take?
It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
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.
