Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Childrey
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. If you have poor airflow from the vents and ventilation full of debris from building work, we can put it right, from toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Childrey, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Childrey
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Childrey and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What we’re called out for in Childrey
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Blocked general extract ductwork
Ventilation work in and around Childrey is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
Before you book anyone
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- File each ventilation report with the building records
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.

Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. Somewhere as small as Childrey, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Questions from Childrey
Do you work in villages like Childrey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can ventilation in schools around Childrey be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Childrey. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes, together with the ductwork. They show up in the photo report before and after.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. Access panels can be added where needed.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
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 won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Childrey, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
