Ductwork Cleaning in Kiddington
Ductwork cleaning for Kiddington, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Kiddington
No two duct runs are the same, in Kiddington or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you are dealing with stale grease odours from the duct and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for Kiddington
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kiddington?
In Kiddington, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work at weekends in Kiddington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Kiddington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
Is Kiddington in your area?
Yes. Kiddington is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Why act early in Kiddington
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. Planning a trip to Kiddington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Kiddington and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Common problems we fix in Kiddington
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- 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 (Blenheim Palace is about 4.6 miles south), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Kiddington
Kiddington sits within the area of 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. In Kiddington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Kiddington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
