Part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Extract fan cleaning in Lye Green
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for a fan that no longer moves enough air and grease escaping from the fan outlet, on in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lye Green
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Somewhere as small as Lye Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

FAQs for Lye Green
Is Lye Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lye Green is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Lye Green?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
When to call us in Lye Green
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St George's Church, or anywhere in Lye Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Extract fan cleaning around Lye Green
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lye Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Lye Green is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Lye Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Amersham Hospital about 4.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a village like Lye Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.

Advice
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Damaged fan blades
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
