Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dane Hill
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers multi-storey ducts, access panels and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a duct clean needed for an insurer and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct.
Somewhere as small as Dane Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Dane Hill before we set off.
- 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.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
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.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Leave it or put it right?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. It’s simpler to plan the work at Dane Hill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Full insurance on every job
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- We diagnose before we treat

Common problems we fix in Dane Hill
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Dane Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of insurance
Dane Hill: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Dane Hill be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Dane Hill. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Dane Hill?
That is 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.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Ductwork cleaning in Dane Hill: the local picture
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Dane Hill, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Kitchens in Dane Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Dane Hill is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Around Dane Hill, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.
