Book a TR19 clean in Oxfordshire

How kitchen extract cleaning works in Oxfordshire

Any kitchen we clean in Oxfordshire gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and rancid smells from grease in the duct.

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.

  1. First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
  2. Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extracts across Oxfordshire

From Oxford, Banbury and Didcot to its smaller places, Oxfordshire has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Oxfordshire can keep trading.

Oxford: Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Oxford Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Clement's Church or elsewhere in Oxford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What the work involves, part by part

Ductwork and risers

Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.

Grease filters

Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • How easy every part is to reach

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What to send for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

For landlords and multi-site operators

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

When something else is needed

We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
  • Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
  • An undersized canopy or fan

What staff can safely do

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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Common questions in Oxfordshire

Which sectors do you work in?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

How long does a kitchen extract 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. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

When do you clean the extract?

Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
