What ductwork cleaning looks like in Spelsbury
Spelsbury is covered by 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. Kitchens in Spelsbury get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Spelsbury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Chadlington Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Spelsbury
If the ducts in Spelsbury haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, attenuators and bends and junctions, and the jobs we see most are high readings at a recent grease test and years of grease along the duct floor.
In a small place like Spelsbury, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Spelsbury knowing what to expect.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Also in Spelsbury
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Spelsbury
Do you work overnight in Spelsbury?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Spelsbury?
Spelsbury is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we install duct access panels. We place them where they help most, and we’ll recommend where.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
What affects the quote in Spelsbury
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Leave it or put it right?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Planning a trip to Spelsbury ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
