Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Moreton is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Ductwork cleaning in Moreton, done properly
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have duct runs with no cleaning record and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Moreton, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Moreton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops in Moreton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Kitchens in Moreton get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire 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. Moreton sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lord Williams's School or anywhere near Moreton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Moreton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Moreton: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Moreton?
The local authority for Moreton is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come to Moreton after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached and the report has to say so.
What we’re called out for in Moreton
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Thame Community Hospital about 1.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For ductwork cleaning in Moreton, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere like Moreton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
