Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Leafield
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have fat dripping from the ductwork and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Leafield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Visits to a village like Leafield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in Leafield
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Leafield?
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- High readings at a recent grease test
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Leafield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing
Leafield questions
Do you work in villages like Leafield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Leafield?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Do not switch the extract off early
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows 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.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Leafield
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
