Kitchen duct cleaning in Horton-cum-Studley
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a kitchen in or near Horton-cum-Studley, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Horton-cum-Studley.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Horton-cum-Studley
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it

- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Horton-cum-Studley: your questions answered
Can you come to Horton-cum-Studley after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Horton-cum-Studley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Horton-cum-Studley?
Kitchens in Horton-cum-Studley are inspected by Cherwell council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Horton-cum-Studley (Boarstall Tower is about 2.2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. A hospital like Churchill Hospital, about 4.5 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere in Horton-cum-Studley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Why act early in Horton-cum-Studley
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Somewhere as small as Horton-cum-Studley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the baffle filters clean
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
