What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
About our ductwork cleaning in Hyde Heath
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease at the base of a riser and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
In a village or hamlet like Hyde Heath, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.

Grease, kitchens and Hyde Heath
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Hyde Heath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Hyde Heath get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hyde Heath is covered by 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cholesbury Manor House is about 4.4 miles north), access may need planning. Where a hall near Parish church of Saint John the Baptist, or anywhere in Hyde Heath, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Hyde Heath is about 2 miles south-west of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire.

When to call us in Hyde Heath
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Stale grease odours from the duct
For schools such as Hyde Heath Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hyde Heath.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
FAQs for Hyde Heath
Can you work in Hyde Heath outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Hyde Heath keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Hyde Heath?
Yes. Hyde Heath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
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.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
