How we handle ductwork cleaning in Stone in Oxney
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for years of grease along the duct floor and high readings at a recent grease test, on horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and vertical risers.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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’ve been trading since 2009.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Stone in Oxney
Which environmental health team covers Stone in Oxney?
In Stone in Oxney, it’s Ashford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Stone in Oxney?
Yes. Stone in Oxney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We plan the clean when you are not cooking. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Stone in Oxney.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- 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.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Common problems we fix in Stone in Oxney
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Smallhythe Place is about 3.2 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
