Ductwork cleaning in Tyler's Hill, done properly
No two duct runs are the same, in Tyler's Hill or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. Typical jobs include smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, across multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
In a small place like Tyler's Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
Booking the duct clean in Tyler's Hill now keeps it a planned job. The work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. It’s simpler to plan the work at Tyler's Hill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Questions from Tyler's Hill
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Tyler's Hill out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Tyler's Hill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tyler's Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Tyler's Hill are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in Tyler's Hill?
Yes. We work in Tyler's Hill and the rest of Buckinghamshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
Tyler's Hill kitchens: local notes
Look up Tyler's Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Tyler's Hill. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Tyler's Hill. 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. Kitchens in Tyler's Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Amersham Hospital (about 3.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Tyler's Hill (Chenies Manor House is about 3 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Tyler's Hill and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
When to call us in Tyler's Hill
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
For schools such as Ley Hill School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What paperwork you get at the end
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
