Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Iffley
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers vertical risers, attenuators and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are a duct clean needed for an insurer and ductwork that has never been cleaned.
In a smaller place like Iffley, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Iffley
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Iffley?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Holywell Manor is about 2 miles north-west), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
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 make a difference.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Grease, kitchens and Iffley
There are about 97 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Iffley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Food hygiene inspections in Iffley are the job of Oxford City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Iffley sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Iffley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Rose Hill Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How it works
Your staff do not 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. A site near Iffley usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Questions from Iffley
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Iffley in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 18 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Iffley. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Iffley?
That’s Oxford City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Iffley. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Only while we’re working, and we work around you. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.
Is Iffley in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Iffley included.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
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.
