About our ductwork cleaning in Poffley End
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and attenuators onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Poffley End, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Faulty fire dampers
- Leaking duct joints that need repair

What we work on in Poffley End
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
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 to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Poffley End
Do you work at weekends in Poffley End?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Poffley End keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Poffley End?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Poffley End included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Poffley End
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Poffley End, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- 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
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Somewhere as small as Poffley End, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Poffley End
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Kitchen extracts in Poffley End
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Poffley End. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Poffley End sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Poffley End get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Poffley End, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Hailey Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Poffley End (Minster Lovell Hall is about 2.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
