Ductwork cleaning in Remenham, done properly
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are duct runs that can’t be reached and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Remenham
Do you work in villages like Remenham?
Yes, Remenham is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Remenham?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Remenham. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
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.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.

What else we do in Remenham
Leave it or put it right?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. A fault that closes a site in a village like Remenham affects everyone who depends on it.
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
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.
When to call us in Remenham
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Marlow Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Remenham, about 5.4 miles east.

Kitchen extracts in Remenham
The FSA’s data shows about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Remenham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Remenham sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Remenham are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Remenham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Remenham (Greenlands is about 1 mile north), fitting access panels needs care.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Run the extract fan throughout service
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Remenham run smoothly.

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
