About our ductwork cleaning in Radnage
If the ducts in Radnage haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with a rancid smell from the extract duct and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Radnage, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Radnage
Which fire service covers Radnage?
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Radnage. 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 get to a site in Radnage?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Radnage is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
When to call us in Radnage
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Radnage Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Radnage, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Radnage
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Ductwork cleaning in Radnage: the local picture
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Radnage, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Fire safety in Radnage falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Radnage. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Radnage, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (West Wycombe Park House is about 3.2 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Radnage can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
