About our ductwork cleaning in Aston Tirrold
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. Common call-outs are for heavy grease at the base of a riser and a rancid smell from the extract duct, across vertical risers, attenuators and multi-storey ducts.
In a small place like Aston Tirrold, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
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
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Aston Tirrold.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. If the system at a site near Aston Tirrold fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Aston Tirrold?
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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Brightwell Manor, about 3.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Aston Tirrold; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Common questions in Aston Tirrold
Which fire authority looks after Aston Tirrold?
Fire safety enforcement in Aston Tirrold is handled by 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.
Can you come to Aston Tirrold after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Aston Tirrold doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
