How we handle ductwork cleaning in Newnham Murren
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. Common call-outs are for hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and ductwork that has never been cleaned, across access panels, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts.
Work in a small place like Newnham Murren starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Newnham Murren?
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
For schools such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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. Visits to a village like Newnham Murren are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. If the system at a site near Newnham Murren fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you work in villages like Newnham Murren?
Yes. Newnham Murren is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we are done.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote

- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Grease, kitchens and Newnham Murren
Food Standards Agency data counts about 22 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways across Newnham Murren and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Kitchens in Newnham Murren 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. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Newnham Murren falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Newnham Murren, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 2.5 miles north-west), access may need planning.
