Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Lye Green
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and plenums and filters. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Lye Green usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Lye Green goes.
In a small place like Lye Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere as small as Lye Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lye Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Lye Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Lye Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Lye Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lye Green. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Lye Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Lye Green sits within the area of Buckinghamshire 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St George's Church or elsewhere in Lye Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Amersham Hospital (about 4.3 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What affects the quote in Lye Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises

Common problems we fix in Lye Green
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chenies Manor House is about 3.8 miles south-east), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
