Kitchen duct cleaning in Stonesfield
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Typical jobs include a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stonesfield? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
A clean in Stonesfield covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Stonesfield starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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 photos, 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.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we are called out for in Stonesfield
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stonesfield (Blenheim Palace is about 3 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether VAT is included
Stonesfield: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Stonesfield?
Stonesfield 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.
Is Stonesfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stonesfield included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Stonesfield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Stonesfield: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Stonesfield are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Stonesfield falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like Stonesfield School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James the Great, or anywhere in Stonesfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Stonesfield is about 5 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Stonesfield and the rest of Oxfordshire. Stonesfield is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire where we work for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Oxford page, about 11 miles away.
Our technicians cover all of OX29 for kitchen extract cleaning and the streets around it. That includes premises on High Street, Hunt's Close and Pond Hill and the roads around them. Other places close to Stonesfield include Combe (1 mile south-east), Fawler (1 mile west), East End (2 miles south), Finstock (2 miles west) and Charlbury (2 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Oxford (11 miles south-east), Banbury (15 miles north), Bicester (12 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (14 miles south-east), Witney (5 miles south-west) and Carterton (9 miles south-west).
Local landmarks in Stonesfield
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Black Head pub. For rail, the closest station is Finstock station, roughly 1.7 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Morris Motors Museum (3.1 miles south-east). Open spaces near Stonesfield include Blenheim Farm.
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Somewhere as small as Stonesfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Full insurance on every job
- Trading since 2009
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
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.
