About our ductwork cleaning in Kingston Bagpuize
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are duct runs with no cleaning record and years of grease along the duct floor.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Kingston Bagpuize gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

When to call us in Kingston Bagpuize
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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 5.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before booking anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Around Kingston Bagpuize, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
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.

What the work involves, part by part
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.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
