Ductwork Cleaning in Kingston Lisle
Ductwork cleaning for Kingston Lisle and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Never cook with a filter missing
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures 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.
About our ductwork cleaning in Kingston Lisle
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. We are often asked to deal with ductwork that has never been cleaned and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, on vertical risers, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts.
Somewhere as small as Kingston Lisle, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Kingston Lisle knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Questions from Kingston Lisle
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kingston Lisle?
Kingston Lisle is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Kingston Lisle?
That is Vale of White Horse council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Kingston Lisle. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We plan the clean when you’re not cooking. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Kingston Lisle
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
When to call us in Kingston Lisle
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
A hospital like Faringdon Day Hospital, about 5.2 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
