How we handle ductwork cleaning in Littlewick Green
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include ductwork that has never been cleaned and duct runs that can’t be reached, across horizontal duct runs, attenuators and vertical risers.
In a village or hamlet like Littlewick Green, 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.
We’re 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, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

When to call us in Littlewick Green
Ducts in Littlewick Green gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. 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:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 2.2 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the quote in Littlewick Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
Grease, kitchens and Littlewick Green
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Littlewick Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Kitchens in Littlewick Green get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Littlewick Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Harleyford Manor, about 2.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Littlewick Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near Saint John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Littlewick Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Leave it or put it right?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Littlewick Green: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Littlewick Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Littlewick Green are carried out by Windsor and Maidenhead council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Littlewick Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Littlewick Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Do you cover Littlewick Green?
Yes. We cover Littlewick Green and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is 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 a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Littlewick Green before we set off.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- 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 pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
