How we handle ductwork cleaning in Enstone
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. If you’re dealing with fat dripping from the ductwork and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Enstone, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Kitchen extracts in Enstone
Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Enstone. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Enstone is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Kenelm or elsewhere in Enstone, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Enstone Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Enstone are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common questions in Enstone
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Enstone?
The local authority for Enstone is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Enstone?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. Typically it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
