Questions from Lee Common

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Lee Common during the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lee Common. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.

Which fire service covers Lee Common?

Lee Common is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

What should I send you?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?

When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.

Can extra access doors be added to the duct?

Yes, we install duct access panels. We place them where they help most, and we’ll recommend where.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Do you cover Lee Common?

Yes. Our technicians work in Lee Common, as part of our area across London and the South East.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.

Ductwork cleaning in Lee Common, done properly

Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have duct runs that can’t be reached and a duct nobody has opened in years, we can help, from access panels, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts onwards.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Lee Common

Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Helping us quote

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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 records stay tidy.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

Grease, kitchens and Lee Common

Lee Common is about 30 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Lee Common. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's, or anywhere in Lee Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chiltern Hospital about 2.7 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Lee Common Church of England School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Lee Common is about 3 miles west of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Lee Common, we can take on ductwork cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted.

Looking after it afterwards

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Keep to the interval on the report
  • Do not switch the extract off early
  • Make sure filters are seated properly

A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.

The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What we do, step by step

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Lee Common can be planned properly.

  1. First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
  2. A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
  3. We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
  4. We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
  5. Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

How the job changes from site to site

Bends and transitions

Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.

Multi-storey and shared buildings

In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.

When something else is needed

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • Faulty fire dampers
  • Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
  • An extract fan that has stopped working

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
