About our ductwork cleaning in Stanton St John
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. The work covers attenuators, bends and junctions and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are a grease test showing the duct is overdue and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork.
For a kitchen in or near Stanton St John, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: 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 from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Visits to a village like Stanton St John are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Stanton St John
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Stanton St John, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What else we do in Stanton St John
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Stanton St John questions
Who inspects food businesses in Stanton St John?
The local authority for Stanton St John is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Stanton St John within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stanton St John is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
