Common questions in Aston
Which fire authority looks after Aston?
Aston is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Aston?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Aston keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Aston?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Ductwork cleaning in Aston, done properly
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. Typical jobs include ductwork that has never been cleaned and grease seeping out of the duct seams, across vertical risers, access panels and bends and junctions.
For a kitchen in or near Aston, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Aston?
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. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Greenlands is about 1 mile north-west), access may need planning.

Different parts, different methods
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Grease, kitchens and Aston
Food Standards Agency data counts about 43 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops in Aston and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Kitchens in Aston get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Aston is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Aston is Marlow Community Hospital, about 4.6 miles east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Aston, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Aston, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work

What affects the quote in Aston
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need ductwork cleaning in Aston, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Flag drips from the duct right away
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Aston and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
