Bix ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning across Bix and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bix.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- 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.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, 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 work begins.
Advice
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Bix
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and stale grease odours from the duct.
For a kitchen in or near Bix, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Common questions in Bix
Do you cover smaller places like Bix?
Yes, Bix is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bix?
Food hygiene inspections in Bix are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Kitchen extracts in Bix
Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Bix. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. About 37 miles out from central London, Bix is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Bix, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Greys Court, about 1.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Bix; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Bix is about 6 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Every kind of commercial site in Bix, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
What affects the quote in Bix
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Want a quote for ductwork cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Why act early in Bix
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
