Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Glympton
Each extract duct we take on in Glympton goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. The work covers attenuators, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a rancid smell from the extract duct and years of grease along the duct floor.
In a small place like Glympton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in Glympton
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. We will recommend where they should go.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Any part that cannot be safely reached is recorded.
FAQs for Glympton
Do you work overnight in Glympton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Glympton needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Glympton?
Fire safety enforcement in Glympton is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Glympton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Glympton
Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Glympton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Glympton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 3.5 miles south), access may need planning.

What else we do in Glympton
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Glympton and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Common problems we fix in Glympton
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Glympton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
