Managing agents and facilities teams in Lucas Green
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lucas Green
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. If you have high readings at a recent grease test and stale grease odours from the duct, we can put it right, from access panels, vertical risers and bends and junctions onwards.
Somewhere as small as Lucas Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached and the report has to say so.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep your cleaning records together
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Lucas Green kitchens: local notes
There are about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Lucas Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. It’s Surrey Heath council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lucas Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Lucas Green. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Lucas Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Brookwood Hospital, about 1.8 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

FAQs for Lucas Green
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Lucas Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lucas Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lucas Green?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Lucas Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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, and that’s where we come in.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Faulty fire dampers
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Lucas Green
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bisley CofE Primary School or anywhere near Lucas Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
