About our ductwork cleaning in Rush Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and access panels, and people most often call us about sections of duct with no access panels and fat dripping from the ductwork.
For a kitchen in or near Rush Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Rush Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Rush Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Rush Green is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Rush 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Francis, or anywhere in Rush Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Denham Village School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Rush Green
Can a school canteen extract in Rush Green be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Rush Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Rush Green?
Kitchens in Rush Green are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Only while we are working, and we work around you. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Common problems we fix in Rush 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Rush Green (Ickenham Hall is about 3.2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote shows VAT
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Rush Green can be planned properly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Rush Green and across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
