Ductwork cleaning in Great Rollright
If the ducts in Great Rollright 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 ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with grease seeping out of the duct seams and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Great Rollright, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When to call us in Great Rollright
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Great Rollright 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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chastleton House is about 4.9 miles west), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
When it’s something else
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Great Rollright.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Great Rollright: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Great Rollright?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Great Rollright after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Great Rollright doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you cover Great Rollright?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Great Rollright included.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Great Rollright
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Great Rollright. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Great Rollright are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Great Rollright Church of England (Aided) Primary School or anywhere near Great Rollright, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Great Rollright, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
