How we handle ductwork cleaning in Hedgerley Green
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers bends and junctions, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and stale grease odours from the duct.
Somewhere as small as Hedgerley Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, which is one of the points we test.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Somewhere like Hedgerley Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Grease, kitchens and Hedgerley Green
About 22 miles out from central London, Hedgerley Green is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Hedgerley Green sits within the area of Royal Berkshire 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hedgerley Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Gayhurst School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Chalfonts and Gerrards Cross Hospital, about 2.2 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Hedgerley Green is about 3 miles south-east of Beaconsfield, in Slough.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
