Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Diarise the next duct clean
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lower Titmore Green
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers attenuators, access panels and vertical risers, and people most often call us about sections of duct with no access panels and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Titmore Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Lower Titmore Green questions
Do you work overnight in Lower Titmore Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Titmore Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 9 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lower Titmore Green. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Grease, kitchens and Lower Titmore Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 24 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in Lower Titmore Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Lower Titmore Green sits within the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s North Hertfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lower Titmore Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Lower Titmore Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lower Titmore Green (Knebworth House is about 3.5 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School or anywhere near Lower Titmore Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What else we do in Lower Titmore Green
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
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, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. With notice, the visit to Lower Titmore Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. 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 us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Lower Titmore Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
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
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
What affects the quote in Lower Titmore Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
