Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Make sure filters are seated properly
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Ductwork cleaning in Sutton Wick
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and attenuators, and people most often call us about grease seeping out of the duct seams and thick crusts of old grease along the duct.
Work in a small place like Sutton Wick 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Visits to a village like Sutton Wick 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.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
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.
Sutton Wick questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sutton Wick?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in Sutton Wick?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Sutton Wick does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
What should I send you?
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.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Ductwork cleaning around Sutton Wick
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sutton Wick. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Sutton Wick sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Sutton Wick, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Historic houses near Sutton Wick, such as Clifton Hampden Manor about 4.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Church of Saint Peter, or anywhere in Sutton Wick, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 1.4 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What’s near Sutton Wick
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Larkmead School, Albert Park and McTimoney College of Chiropractic. The nearest railway station is Appleford station, roughly 2.9 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Pendon Museum (3.9 miles east) and Abingdon Community Hospital (1.4 miles north). Not far away are Dry Sandford Pit.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
