Ductwork cleaning in Tackley
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with ductwork that has never been cleaned and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can put it right.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 have been trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Tackley
Food hygiene inspections in Tackley are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. At about 58 miles from central London, Tackley sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Tackley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Tackley, such as Blenheim Palace about 3.8 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

When to call us in Tackley
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Stale grease odours from the duct
For kitchens close to Tackley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
What your quote should include
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
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.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
What staff can safely do
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Tackley run smoothly.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Which fire authority looks after Tackley?
Tackley is in the area of 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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Tackley included.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Tackley
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
