Ductwork cleaning in North Stoke, done properly
Ductwork in North Stoke is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. We are often asked to deal with ductwork that has never been cleaned and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, across vertical risers, attenuators and access panels.
Work in a small place like North Stoke starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in North Stoke
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need ductwork cleaning in North Stoke, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Diarise the next duct clean
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The timing of a visit to North Stoke is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
North Stoke: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in North Stoke?
Kitchens in North Stoke are inspected by South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. 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 Stoke?
North Stoke is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Managing agents and facilities teams in North Stoke
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
