Ductwork cleaning in North Aston
No two duct runs are the same, in North Aston or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. Typical jobs include proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and stale grease odours from the duct, on bends and junctions, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
Work in a small place like North Aston starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to North Aston run smoothly.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Ductwork cleaning in North Aston: the local picture

It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in North Aston. 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.

What we are called out for in North Aston
Ducts in North Aston gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in North Aston, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before you book anyone

- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured

Questions from North Aston
Which environmental health team covers North Aston?
Kitchens in North Aston are inspected by Cherwell council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in North Aston?
Yes, North Aston is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
