How we handle ductwork cleaning in Nash Lee
Ductwork in Nash Lee is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, on vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and attenuators.
Somewhere as small as Nash Lee, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Nash Lee and across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Never cook with a filter missing
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
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.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Visits to a village like Nash Lee are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Kitchen extracts in Nash Lee
The FSA’s data shows about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Nash Lee and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Nash Lee. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Nash Lee sits within the area of Buckinghamshire 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Nash Lee, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like John Colet School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Stoke Mandeville Hospital (about 2.3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. With notice, the visit to Nash Lee can be fitted around your bookings and events.
