Ductwork cleaning in Ascott d'Oyley, Oxfordshire
We cover Ascott d'Oyley for cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Ascott d'Oyley
No two duct runs are the same, in Ascott d'Oyley 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. We’re often asked to deal with duct runs with no cleaning record and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, across horizontal duct runs, attenuators and multi-storey ducts.
Somewhere as small as Ascott d'Oyley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.

When to call us in Ascott d'Oyley
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- High readings at a recent grease test
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Ascott d'Oyley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Ascott d'Oyley knowing what to expect.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos 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.
Advice
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Ascott d'Oyley
Which fire service covers Ascott d'Oyley?
Ascott d'Oyley is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Ascott d'Oyley after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Ascott d'Oyley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Ascott d'Oyley
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Ascott d'Oyley. 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. In Ascott d'Oyley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a café or takeaway near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Minster Lovell Hall is about 4.3 miles south), access may need planning.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
