Duct Cleaning · Woodley
Woodley kitchens - the Crockhamwell Road restaurants, the precinct takeaways and the Headley Road canteens - run grease up concealed ductwork. We clean and certify the whole system to TR19 Grease.
Answer a few quick questions about your Woodley canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorWoodley grew from an aerodrome and aircraft works into a large town east of Reading, its shops gathered on the pedestrianised Crockhamwell Road and its work on the Headley Road estate. The restaurants of Crockhamwell Road, the precinct takeaways and the canteens of Headley Road all vent through extract ductwork carrying hot, grease-laden air from the canopy to a hidden roof outlet.
Across a Wokingham food economy of 1,119 rated premises, the risk sits in the concealed length of that duct, above a ceiling or up a riser, unseen until an insurer or fire risk assessor asks to see it cleaned. We clean and certify commercial grease, ventilation and laundry ductwork across Woodley to TR19 Grease, cutting access panels where a run is sealed and leaving the certificate and photographs for your file.
TR19 Grease is the benchmark insurers and fire risk assessors expect for kitchen extract systems. It covers the whole system, measured, not just the parts you can see. Grease is assessed by thickness, and the standard sets the level at which a system must be cleaned and re-tested.
Across Woodley we work to that one standard, whether the run climbs out of a busy restaurant kitchen or a care-home laundry.
Extract ductwork from fryers, grills and ranges coats itself in combustible grease along every hidden section to the roof fan. We clean the complete run to TR19 Grease and record post-clean readings.
Supply and general extract ductwork fills with dust, debris and mould that throttles airflow and spreads contamination. We clean and inspect dry ductwork so it actually ventilates.
Tumble-dryer and launderette ducting packs with lint, one of the most flammable build-ups in any building - common in hotels, inns and care homes, and easily overlooked until it is a fire.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
A Crockhamwell Road restaurant ran a long duct hidden above the ceiling. We surveyed it, fitted access panels and cleaned it end to end around service, documenting the run for the file.
A Headley Road estate canteen had a vertical riser furred with grease behind the servery. We opened it with compliant panels, cleaned it to bare metal from canopy to fan, and set the interval to its cooking hours.
We inspect the full run, find the access gaps in the concealed sections and agree scope and a cleaning frequency for your usage.
We fit compliant inspection hatches where the ductwork is sealed, and protect the kitchen or plant area.
Canopy to fan, down to bare metal, with before-and-after evidence at set measuring points.
You get a dated certificate, grease-depth record, photographs and your next-due date.
The building. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to control fire risk, and concealed grease is where a kitchen fire spreads fastest and least visibly.
The claim. Insurers expect a current certificate; a fire claim on a neglected system can be cut or refused - a costly surprise after a loss.
The day-to-day. A clean run pulls better, smells better and stands up when the environmental health officer visits.
Crockhamwell Road gathers Woodley's food trade, kitchens sitting close along the precinct, so one neglected duct threatens the units either side. We clean and certify the whole system to keep a Woodley kitchen fire-safe for its neighbours as well as itself.
Yes. We work throughout Woodley and the wider Berkshire, including Crockhamwell Road and the town-centre precinct, the parades of Woodley and Earley, and the Headley Road industrial estate. Call 07961 915018 or use the contact form and we will confirm and quote.
The whole run - from the canopy through the concealed horizontal and vertical ductwork to the roof fan. The hidden sections are exactly where the grease and the fire risk sit.
We fit compliant access panels where the run is sealed or boxed in, so every internal section can be reached, cleaned, inspected and certified.
It depends on use. TR19 Grease sets kitchen extract frequency by daily cooking hours - roughly every three months for heavy use, six for moderate and twelve for light - and we set your interval and next-due date on the survey.
Yes. Dry supply and extract ductwork clogs with dust and can spread contamination, and laundry and dryer ducting packs with highly flammable lint. We clean and certify all three.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings, weekends and closing days to keep your kitchen or site running.
We have cleaned and certified commercial ductwork since 2001, the length of the Berkshire coast and across the UK. Whatever the run - a grease riser, a dry office system or a care-home laundry duct - the work ends the same way: bare metal, a photo record and a certificate that stands up to a fire risk assessment.
Send us your site details and cooking hours and we will survey, quote and certify - across Berkshire.
