How we handle ductwork cleaning in Tye Green
If the ducts in Tye Green 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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. If you have fat dripping from the ductwork and a rancid smell from the extract duct, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When to call us in Tye Green
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Paul's Mission Room or elsewhere in Tye Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Grease, kitchens and Tye Green
The fire and rescue service for Tye Green is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Tye Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Uttlesford 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.
Historic houses near Tye Green, such as Horham Hall about 3.6 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Saffron Walden Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Tye Green, about 3.3 miles north-west.

How it works
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 work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tye Green.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Why act early in Tye Green
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. A planned visit to Tye Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us

Tye Green questions
Do you work overnight in Tye Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Tye Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tye Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Tye Green is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
