North Newington ductwork cleaning
Our technicians work in North Newington on ductwork cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a village like North Newington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Ductwork cleaning in North Newington, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have sections of duct with no access panels and years of grease along the duct floor, we can put it right, from access panels, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs onwards.
In a village or hamlet like North Newington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from North Newington
Which environmental health team covers North Newington?
That’s Cherwell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in North Newington. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is the fire and rescue service for North Newington?
Fire safety enforcement in North Newington is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
How long will the duct clean take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in North Newington
Wherever the kitchen is, in North Newington or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Broughton Castle, about 1 mile south, is one of the historic houses near North Newington; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What records you will receive afterwards
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Run the extract fan throughout service
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
North Newington kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around North Newington, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Kitchens in North Newington get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in North Newington 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in North Newington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in North Newington
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not 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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to North Newington is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
