Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
About our ductwork cleaning in Lye Green
We have 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. If you’re dealing with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and duct runs that can’t be reached, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Lye 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t 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, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Lye Green is calmer for everyone.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Kitchen extracts in Lye Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lye Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Lye Green is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lye Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Amersham Hospital about 4.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St George's Church, or anywhere in Lye Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Do not switch the extract off early
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, 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. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a village or hamlet like Lye Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

FAQs for Lye Green
Which fire service covers Lye Green?
Lye Green is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Lye Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Lye Green keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
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.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
Do you work in Lye Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Lye Green.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.

What affects the quote in Lye Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Lye Green
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Sections of duct with no access panels
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lye Green (Chenies Manor House is about 3.8 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What insurance they carry
