Ductwork cleaning in Nuneham Courtenay, done properly
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and access panels, and people most often call us about readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and sections of duct with no access panels.
For a kitchen in or near Nuneham Courtenay, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something 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. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
FAQs for Nuneham Courtenay
Is Nuneham Courtenay within the area you cover?
Yes. Nuneham Courtenay is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Nuneham Courtenay outside opening hours?

How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Ductwork cleaning in Nuneham Courtenay: the local picture
Nuneham Courtenay is about 49 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Nuneham Courtenay, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Clifton Hampden Manor is about 2.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Nuneham Courtenay, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep to the interval on the report
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Why deal with it now?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. If the system at a site near Nuneham Courtenay fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, so it can collect more grease than expected. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
When something else is needed
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Attenuators

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. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Nuneham Courtenay and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
