About our ductwork cleaning in Oxley's Green
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with fat dripping from the ductwork and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
In a small place like Oxley's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Make sure filters are seated properly
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Oxley's Green
Wherever the kitchen is, in Oxley's Green or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Oxley's Green (Bateman's is about 1.9 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The timing of a visit to Oxley's Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

FAQs for Oxley's Green
Can you come to Oxley's Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Oxley's Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Oxley's Green?
Yes. Oxley's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
