How we handle ductwork cleaning in Aston
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and bends and junctions.
Work in a small place like Aston starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need ductwork cleaning in Aston, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why act early in Aston
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. If the system at a site near Aston fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- In business since 2009
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
What we do, step by step
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 before we start, 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. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Aston and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Questions from Aston
Is Aston within the area you cover?
Yes. Aston is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Aston?
That is West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Aston. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Part by part
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Grease, kitchens and Aston
Aston sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Aston are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Aston, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Longworth House is about 3.4 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Longworth Hospital is the nearest hospital to Aston, about 5.7 miles south-west.
