Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shiplake Cross
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Shiplake Cross and right across Oxfordshire, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. Common call-outs are for poor airflow from the vents and supply ducts with years of dust inside, on hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and toilet extract systems.
For a building in or near Shiplake Cross, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Shiplake Cross
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Toilet extract systems
- Supply ductwork
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep filters changed on time
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
Questions from Shiplake Cross
Is Shiplake Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shiplake Cross is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean school ventilation in Shiplake Cross during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Shiplake Cross, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
As a guide, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we will confirm the plan when we quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
The cost 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 any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shiplake Cross
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. A fault that closes a site in a village like Shiplake Cross affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
