About our ductwork cleaning in Nuffield
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. Typical jobs include years of grease along the duct floor and a rancid smell from the extract duct, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and attenuators.
In a village or hamlet like Nuffield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we are called out for in Nuffield
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Nuffield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of insurance
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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 photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Nuffield and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Nuffield questions
Which fire authority looks after Nuffield?
Fire safety enforcement in Nuffield is handled by 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.
Can you get to a site in Nuffield?
Yes, Nuffield is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Why it’s worth doing now in Nuffield
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Nuffield is calmer for everyone.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Each visit written up, with pictures

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
