Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Littlefield Green
We’ve 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, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels, and people most often call us about thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and stale grease odours from the duct.
For a kitchen in or near Littlefield Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels

Questions from Littlefield Green
Can the work in Littlefield Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Littlefield Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Littlefield Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Littlefield Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Littlefield Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Littlefield Green sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Littlefield Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Littlefield Green is St Mark's Hospital, about 3.3 miles north. Historic houses near Littlefield Green, such as Dorney Court about 4.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What staff can safely do
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 can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Littlefield Green
Wherever the kitchen is, in Littlefield Green or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
School kitchens, at schools like Holyport College for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Littlefield Green run smoothly.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Littlefield Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What affects the quote in Littlefield Green
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Do not switch the extract off early
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
