About our ductwork cleaning in Wyatt's Green
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and people most often call us about a rancid smell from the extract duct and grease leaking from duct joints.
In a small place like Wyatt's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Wyatt's Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Wyatt's Green
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wyatt's Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wyatt's Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who inspects food businesses in Wyatt's Green?
That is Brentwood council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wyatt's Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Do you cover Wyatt's Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Wyatt's Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep your cleaning records together
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Wyatt's Green?
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Wyatt's Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Food hygiene inspections in Wyatt's Green are the job of Brentwood council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Historic houses near Wyatt's Green, such as Ingatestone Hall about 3.5 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What happens if it’s left?
