About our ductwork cleaning in Pitch Green
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and vertical risers onwards.
Work in a small place like Pitch Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Pitch Green kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Pitch Green get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Pitch Green falls to 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Princes Risborough School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Pitch Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Pitch Green is about 4 miles east of Thame, in Buckinghamshire.

Pitch Green is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 15 miles away.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Pitch Green can be planned properly.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Pitch Green?
Wherever the kitchen is, in Pitch 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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
A hospital like Thame Community Hospital, about 4.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with the ductwork in Pitch Green now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Questions from Pitch Green
Do you work overnight in Pitch Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Pitch Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in villages like Pitch Green?
Yes, Pitch Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
