Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Stanton Harcourt
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Stanton Harcourt
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers bends and junctions, access panels and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and duct runs with no cleaning record.
Work in a small place like Stanton Harcourt starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. A fault that closes a site in a village like Stanton Harcourt affects everyone who depends on it.
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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a village or hamlet like Stanton Harcourt, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- 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.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

About 59 miles out from central London, Stanton Harcourt is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stanton Harcourt (Appleton Manor is about 3.2 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Common questions in Stanton Harcourt
Who inspects food businesses in Stanton Harcourt?
Food hygiene inspections in Stanton Harcourt are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stanton Harcourt?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stanton Harcourt. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but measuring is the reliable way to know. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
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 to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
