What ductwork cleaning looks like in Middleton Stoney
Kitchens in Middleton Stoney get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. At about 56 miles from central London, Middleton Stoney sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Middleton Stoney, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

About our ductwork cleaning in Middleton Stoney
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. If you have proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Middleton Stoney, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Middleton Stoney questions
Can the work in Middleton Stoney be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Middleton Stoney needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Middleton Stoney?
Food hygiene inspections in Middleton Stoney are carried out by Cherwell council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Middleton Stoney
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In a small place like Middleton Stoney, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Leave it or put it right?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. In a place like Middleton Stoney, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What we’re called out for in Middleton Stoney
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bicester Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Middleton Stoney, about 3 miles east.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, which is one of the points we test.
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
