Kitchen extract cleaning across Oxfordshire: what to expect

The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer.

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning across Oxfordshire: local notes

In Oxfordshire, we work in places such as Oxford, Banbury and Didcot and well beyond. We cover every place we list for Oxfordshire, 443 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.

London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in Oxfordshire and beyond.

Oxford: Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Oxford Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Clement's Church, or anywhere in Oxford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What happens if it’s left?

A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.

Questions to ask before booking

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning

Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
How easy every part is to reach
Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What state the system is in

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Asking for a quote

We can often survey from photos. Try to include:

Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
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 site address and the type of premises

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What the work involves, part by part

Restaurant and pub kitchens

A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.

Grease filters

We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.

What we’re called out for in Oxfordshire

Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease

Oxfordshire: your questions answered

Do you cover Oxfordshire?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Oxfordshire included.

What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?

It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.

When do you clean the extract?

We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.

Which parts of the extract do you clean?

A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.

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.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

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