Kitchen duct cleaning in Kiddington
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points, and people most often call us about proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Kiddington start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a kitchen in or near Kiddington, 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 sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kiddington
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs

Kitchen extract cleaning around Kiddington
Kiddington 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 Kiddington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Kiddington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 4.6 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why act early in Kiddington
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. It’s simpler to plan the work at Kiddington now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Kiddington questions
Which environmental health team covers Kiddington?
Kitchens in Kiddington are inspected by West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Kiddington within the area you cover?
Yes, Kiddington is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
What affects the quote in Kiddington
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Kiddington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
