Managing agents and facilities teams in Delly End
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 photos, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Ductwork cleaning in Delly End
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers vertical risers, bends and junctions and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and fat dripping from the ductwork.
Work in a small place like Delly End starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Delly End
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Delly End, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
FAQs for Delly End
Is Delly End within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Delly End is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Delly End?
That is West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Delly End. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Grease, kitchens and Delly End
Look up Delly End on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Delly End. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Delly End sits within the area of 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. Kitchens in Delly End get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Hailey Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Delly End (Minster Lovell Hall is about 2.2 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Delly End, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- 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 pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep your cleaning records together
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
