About our ductwork cleaning in Poundon
If the ducts in Poundon haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with fat dripping from the ductwork and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, on vertical risers, bends and junctions and attenuators.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Poundon
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Diarise the next duct clean
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.

What else we do in Poundon
What happens if it’s left?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. If the system at a site near Poundon fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work 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 Poundon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- 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

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
FAQs for Poundon
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Poundon?
Kitchens in Poundon are inspected by Buckinghamshire 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.
Which fire service covers Poundon?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Poundon. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

Kitchens in Poundon get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire 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.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Poundon
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Poundon (Claydon House is about 4.5 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
