Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Cuddesdon
Which fire authority looks after Cuddesdon?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cuddesdon?
That’s South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cuddesdon. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Cuddesdon kitchens: local notes
We cover Cuddesdon, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Fire safety in Cuddesdon falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cuddesdon is Slade Hospital, about 3.2 miles north-west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Garsington Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Cuddesdon is about 5 miles south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Cuddesdon gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, Cuddesdon among them.
Here we cover the OX44 postcode area for extract fan cleaning. Extract fan cleaning is available to premises on High Street, Church Close and Field Lane and the roads around them.

Near you in Cuddesdon

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Cuddesdon and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Why act early in Cuddesdon
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. In a place like Cuddesdon, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Cuddesdon
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fully insured

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Cuddesdon can be planned properly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Related advice
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Cuddesdon
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Cuddesdon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
