Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Caldecott
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. We are often asked to deal with odours carried round the building by the ducts and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, on toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes.
In a smaller place like Caldecott, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep the space open.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
FAQs for Caldecott
Can the work in Caldecott be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Caldecott needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you clean school ventilation in Caldecott in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Caldecott. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you work in Caldecott?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Caldecott.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from pictures, drawings or a site visit, then we send you a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Caldecott
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Abingdon Community Hospital (about 0.8 miles north-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What insurance they carry
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Ventilation duct cleaning in Caldecott: local notes
Food Standards Agency data includes about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 9 care, childcare and hospital premises within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Caldecott. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Caldecott, about 53 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. The nearest hospital to Caldecott is Abingdon Community Hospital, about 0.8 miles north-west. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
If you manage a school such as Thameside Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and we clear up before we go. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Caldecott can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
