Sibford Gower ductwork cleaning
Our technicians work in Sibford Gower on ductwork cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Ductwork cleaning in Sibford Gower
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers attenuators, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and high readings at a recent grease test.
In a village or hamlet like Sibford Gower, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Sibford Gower questions
Who inspects food businesses in Sibford Gower?
Food hygiene inspections in Sibford Gower are carried out by Cherwell council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can school kitchens in Sibford Gower be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Sibford Gower, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Faulty fire dampers
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Sibford Gower
- Bends and junctions

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What happens if it’s left?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Sibford Gower doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. In a small place like Sibford Gower, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, 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 Sibford Gower and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for 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.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
