About our ductwork cleaning in Charney Bassett
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers attenuators, access panels and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a grease test showing the duct is overdue and thick crusts of old grease along the duct.
In a village or hamlet like Charney Bassett, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

Questions from Charney Bassett
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Charney Bassett?
Kitchens in Charney Bassett are inspected by Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in Charney Bassett?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Charney Bassett included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Charney Bassett?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are 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.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Ductwork cleaning in Charney Bassett: the local picture
Environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council inspect food businesses in Charney Bassett. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Charney Bassett is about 59 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Charney Bassett (Longworth House is about 2.9 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Charney Bassett, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What we are called out for in Charney Bassett
Ducts in Charney Bassett gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Charney Bassett is Longworth Hospital, about 5.7 miles west.

Why deal with it now?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. If the system at a site near Charney Bassett fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere as small as Charney Bassett, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
