Ductwork cleaning in Bletchley, done properly
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and sections of duct with no access panels, on vertical risers, attenuators and multi-storey ducts.
In a town like Bletchley, most of the kitchen extracts we’re asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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 to a regular schedule.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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 is where we come in.
Bletchley questions
Which fire authority looks after Bletchley?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bletchley in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 20 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bletchley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
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 is often enough.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Any part that cannot be safely reached is recorded.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. We will recommend where they should go.
Why deal with it now?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Bletchley doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Each month of use adds to the build-up, so a site in Bletchley is better off booking it now.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Bletchley
There are about 85 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 49 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bletchley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Fire safety in Bletchley falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Milton Keynes council inspect food businesses in Bletchley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Holne Chase Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Bletchley Community Hospital, about within half a mile north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Common problems we fix in Bletchley
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Where a hall near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Bletchley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
