About our ductwork cleaning in Fyfield
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. If you’re dealing with a rancid smell from the extract duct and grease leaking from duct joints, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Fyfield, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Fyfield
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Appleton Manor is about 2.2 miles north-east), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- If they look at the system before pricing
Ductwork cleaning around Fyfield
There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fyfield, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Kitchens in Fyfield get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fyfield is covered by 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Abingdon Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Fyfield, about 4 miles east. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Fyfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.

What else we do in Fyfield
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A damper stuck open in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
Why act early in Fyfield
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fully insured
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Fyfield and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
