Duct cleaning in Lewknor
Ductwork cleaning for Lewknor, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

Ductwork cleaning in Lewknor, done properly
Ductwork in Lewknor is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you have proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Lewknor, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How we price ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Lewknor: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Lewknor?
In Lewknor, it’s South Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to Lewknor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
Only while we are working, and we work around you. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Lewknor
Lewknor, about 39 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. The fire and rescue service for Lewknor is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Adwell House is about 1.6 miles north-west), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Thame Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lewknor, about 5 miles north.
Lewknor is about 5 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Sites in Lewknor get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our area takes in 443 places across Oxfordshire, large and small. Our Oxford page covers sites nearby (12 miles or so).
Our technicians cover all of the OX49 postcode area for ductwork cleaning and the streets around it. If you need ductwork cleaning at premises on High Street, Weston Road and Lewknor Close or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover South Weston (1 mile north-west), Aston Rowant (1 mile north-east), Postcombe (1 mile north), Shirburn (1 mile south-west) and Kingston Blount (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Oxford (12 miles north-west), Didcot (13 miles west), Abingdon-on-Thames (13 miles west), Thame (5 miles north), Henley-on-Thames (10 miles south) and Benson (7 miles south-west).
What’s near Lewknor

What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Common problems we fix in Lewknor
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Stale grease odours from the duct
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Lewknor, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lewknor before we set off.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lewknor rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
