- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- A duct nobody has opened in years
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Great Milton Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Ductwork cleaning in Great Haseley, done properly
If the ducts in Great Haseley haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include sections of duct with no access panels and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, across vertical risers, bends and junctions and access panels.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Great Haseley
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Kitchens in Great Haseley get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up.

What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Great Haseley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Great Haseley
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep to the interval on the report
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Leave it or put it right?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Somewhere as small as Great Haseley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

How much does ductwork cleaning cost?

Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
