Your questions about ductwork cleaning in St. Ebbes
Do you cover smaller places like St. Ebbes?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, St. Ebbes included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers St. Ebbes?
Fire safety enforcement in St. Ebbes is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How much notice should we give?
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.
Ductwork cleaning in St. Ebbes, done properly
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork that has never been cleaned and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like St. Ebbes gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in St. Ebbes
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by 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 usually have a quote within one working day.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with the ductwork in St. Ebbes now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. A planned visit to St. Ebbes fits your hours; an emergency does not.

- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Your opening hours decide when we come to St. Ebbes, not ours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in St. Ebbes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 92 pubs and bars and about 14 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of St. Ebbes. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in St. Ebbes get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in St. Ebbes falls to 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.
For schools such as Oxford Media & Business School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Ebbe's Church or elsewhere in St. Ebbes, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Radcliffe Infirmary, about 0.6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
