Duct cleaning in Aston Rowant
Ductwork cleaning in Aston Rowant from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Ductwork cleaning in Aston Rowant, done properly
Ductwork in Aston Rowant is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. We’re often asked to deal with heavy grease at the base of a riser and gaps where access panels were never fitted, across horizontal duct runs, attenuators and access panels.
In a small place like Aston Rowant, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Aston Rowant
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Aston Rowant?
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Thame Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Aston Rowant, about 4.3 miles north.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a village like Aston Rowant are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Questions from Aston Rowant
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Aston Rowant?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Aston Rowant. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Aston Rowant?

Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.

The fire and rescue service for Aston Rowant is Oxfordshire 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.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Diarise the next duct clean
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
