How we handle ductwork cleaning in Hedgerley
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. Removing it is the whole point. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are stale grease odours from the duct and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence.
Somewhere as small as Hedgerley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extracts in Hedgerley
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hedgerley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hedgerley is covered by Royal Berkshire 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. In Hedgerley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hedgerley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Hedgerley, such as Cliveden about 3.8 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Common questions in Hedgerley
Can you get to a site in Hedgerley?
Yes, Hedgerley is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Hedgerley outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Hedgerley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Hedgerley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Hedgerley
Wherever the kitchen is, in Hedgerley or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Farnham Common Junior School or anywhere near Hedgerley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hedgerley
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

Leave it or put it right?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hedgerley affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Hedgerley

- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
