Ductwork cleaning in South Moreton
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. Common call-outs are for grease seeping out of the duct seams and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, across bends and junctions, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
In a village or hamlet like South Moreton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common problems we fix in South Moreton
A greasy duct is a fire path, in South Moreton as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
For schools such as South Moreton Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

FAQs for South Moreton
Which environmental health team covers South Moreton?
The local authority for South Moreton is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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 South Moreton?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. Visits are planned out of hours.
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.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in South Moreton

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
