How we price ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cryers Hill
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. We are often asked to deal with a rancid smell from the extract duct and gaps where access panels were never fitted, across attenuators, access panels and bends and junctions.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Cryers Hill knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Grease, kitchens and Cryers Hill
The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs and bars registered in Cryers Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Cryers Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Cryers Hill is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hughenden Manor is about 1.3 miles south-west), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Great Kingshill Church of England Combined School or anywhere near Cryers Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cryers Hill is Hospital of St John the Baptist, about 2.5 miles south.

Common questions in Cryers Hill
Can you get to a site in Cryers Hill?
Yes. Cryers Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Cryers Hill during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Cryers Hill. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
