Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hedsor
Each extract duct we take on in Hedsor goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. If you are dealing with a duct clean needed for an insurer and stale grease odours from the duct, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Hedsor
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Hedsor as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Paul's Church of England Combined School or anywhere near Hedsor, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Hedsor: your questions answered
Can the work in Hedsor be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Hedsor keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school canteen extract in Hedsor be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hedsor. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In a small place like Hedsor, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Ductwork cleaning in Hedsor: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 15 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hedsor. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Hedsor falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Hedsor. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hedsor is Marlow Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cliveden is about 1.1 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hedsor
Dealing with the ductwork in Hedsor now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. If the system at a site near Hedsor fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- We are fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A written report with photos after every visit

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 will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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.
