FAQs for Hailey
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hailey?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will you come out to Hailey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
We measure it. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). BESA guidance says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns, and 500 or more anywhere needs immediate spot cleaning.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Ductwork cleaning in Hailey
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you are dealing with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can help, from bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs onwards.
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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hailey kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered across Hailey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Hailey 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. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Hailey is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Hailey, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hailey Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Minster Lovell Hall, about 1.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Hailey; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Hailey is about 2 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Hailey, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading isn’t interrupted. 443 places in Oxfordshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 12 miles away.

Local landmarks in Hailey
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Lamb And Flag Public House, Wood Green School and The King's School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Finstock station, about 2.9 miles north. A little further out are Cogges Manor Farm Museum (2.1 miles south). Not far away are Blenheim Farm.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Faulty fire dampers
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What affects the quote in Hailey
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hailey.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, so the base is one of our test points.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
