Ductwork cleaning in Neithrop
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. The work covers attenuators, bends and junctions and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are sections of duct with no access panels and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
In a smaller place like Neithrop, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Ductwork cleaning around Neithrop
Food Standards Agency records include about 21 pubs and bars and about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Neithrop. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Neithrop. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Cherwell council inspect food businesses in Neithrop. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Neithrop, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Horton General Hospital, about 1.2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
Why it’s worth doing now in Neithrop
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A quieter site near Neithrop still needs its system looked after.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

When to call us in Neithrop
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Broughton Castle is about 1.8 miles south-west), access may need planning.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Around Neithrop, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
What affects the quote in Neithrop
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What else we do in Neithrop
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Neithrop questions
Do you work at weekends in Neithrop?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Neithrop does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after Neithrop?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Neithrop. 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. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
Is Neithrop in your area?
Yes. Neithrop is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How long will the duct clean take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
