How we price ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Ductwork cleaning in Woodway, done properly
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. If you’re dealing with a duct nobody has opened in years and high readings at a recent grease test, we can put it right, from attenuators, access panels and vertical risers onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Woodway, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Questions from Woodway
Do you cover smaller places like Woodway?
Yes, Woodway is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Woodway?
Food hygiene inspections in Woodway are carried out by Vale of White Horse council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Woodway?
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
School kitchens, at schools like Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the price is fixed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Make sure filters are seated properly
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Woodway knowing what to expect.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs 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.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Woodway
Woodway is about 49 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Woodway. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 5 miles north-east), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Woodway, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
