Fulbrook questions
Can the work in Fulbrook be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Fulbrook can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Fulbrook?
Fire safety enforcement in Fulbrook is handled by 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 does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is Fulbrook in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Fulbrook included.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Ductwork cleaning in Fulbrook
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have grease pooling at the foot of the riser and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right, from access panels, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards.
Somewhere as small as Fulbrook, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we’re called out for in Fulbrook
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Minster Lovell Hall, about 4.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Fulbrook; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Comparing quotes

- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Fulbrook run smoothly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Fulbrook
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
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. With notice, the visit to Fulbrook can be fitted around your bookings and events.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
