Lyde Green: your questions answered
Can you work in Lyde Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Lyde Green needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Lyde Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Lyde Green is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Lyde Green
No two duct runs are the same, in Lyde Green or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are stale grease odours from the duct and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
For a kitchen in or near Lyde 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in Lyde Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Nearby places to Lyde Green
Other services in Lyde Green
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Lyde Green?
Wherever the kitchen is, in Lyde Green or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: 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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- High readings at a recent grease test
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lyde Green (Stratfield Saye House is about 2.8 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a village or hamlet like Lyde Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Grease, kitchens and Lyde Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lyde Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Lyde Green sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lyde Green. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Whitewater Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 5.8 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Lyde Green is about 6 miles north-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in the RG27 postcode area, we can carry out ductwork cleaning at your premises. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Lyde Green is one of them. We also work in Reading, around 10 miles away.

Close by, we work in Rotherwick (1 mile south-east), Mattingley (2 miles east), Hound Green (2 miles north-east), Heckfield (2 miles north-east) and Hazeley (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Basingstoke (6 miles south-west), Farnborough (9 miles east), Fleet (7 miles east), Aldershot (11 miles south-east), Alton (11 miles south) and Yateley (7 miles east).

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. With notice, the visit to Lyde Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.
