Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
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.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lye Green
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. Typical jobs include filters that are clogged or overdue and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, across internal panels, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.
In a village or hamlet like Lye Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Lye Green
Do you cover smaller places like Lye Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lye Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Lye Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lye Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How long does an AHU clean take?
It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
AHU cleaning in Lye Green: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 7 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central Lye Green. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. At about 26 miles from central London, Lye Green sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. About 4.3 miles south-west of Lye Green is Amersham Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
If you manage a school such as Brushwood Junior School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Lye Green, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Amersham Hospital (about 4.3 miles south-west).

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lye Green run smoothly.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

Why deal with it now?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. In a place like Lye Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
