- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
About our ductwork cleaning in Cogges
Ductwork in Cogges 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. If you have sections of duct with no access panels and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, we can help.
In a smaller place like Cogges, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Grease, kitchens and Cogges
The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Cogges. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Cogges, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Cogges falls to 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Blake Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Historic houses near Cogges, such as Minster Lovell Hall about 2.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Cogges, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Advice
Questions from Cogges
Do you work in villages like Cogges?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cogges is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Cogges?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Cogges keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions

What happens if it’s left?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Cogges at a time that suits you.
