Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Goring
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have heavy grease at the base of a riser and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can help.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Goring gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
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.
Why act early in Goring
Dealing with the ductwork in Goring now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. A quieter site near Goring still needs its system looked after.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.

Kitchen extracts in Goring
Look up Goring on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Goring, up to about a mile and a half out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Goring. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Goring. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A kitchen near Goring & Streatley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Goring (Basildon Park is about 1.8 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

FAQs for Goring
Do you work overnight in Goring?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Goring keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Goring?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Goring included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In a smaller place like Goring, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Goring?
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Goring is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct nobody has opened in years
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Goring Church of England Aided Primary School or anywhere near Goring, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What staff can safely do
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
