A fixed price per job based on the size of the system and number of vents, with extras for camera inspections, grille cleaning and repeat maintenance visits.

• Careful, methodical work
• Using cleaning and extraction equipment
• Clear communication with clients and property managers

• Public liability insurance, and check whether you need cover for damage to systems
• Check whether commercial kitchen extract work needs extra training or standards, such as fire safety guidance for grease ducts
• Dust and mould exposure: check what protective equipment (masks, filters) you need
• Work at height and in confined loft or ceiling spaces, so plan safe working methods
• Check how to dispose of collected waste correctly, and whether you need waste carrier registration

Startup costs are typically estimated at around £1,500 to £7,000, depending on the cleaning and extraction equipment you buy, any inspection camera, protective gear and insurance. Your choice of equipment is the biggest factor.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around £600 to £3,500, depending on how many jobs you take, the type of clients and the size of the systems you clean. Homes, landlords and small offices can all be customers.

Check your public liability cover, including damage to systems, and whether commercial kitchen extract work needs extra training or standards. Also check protective equipment for dust and mould, safe work at height, and waste disposal or waste carrier registration.
