Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ascott d'Oyley
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you are dealing with rancid smells from grease in the duct and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Ascott d'Oyley start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near Ascott d'Oyley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Ascott d'Oyley
Which environmental health team covers Ascott d'Oyley?
That is West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ascott d'Oyley. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Ascott d'Oyley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere as small as Ascott d'Oyley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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 give you a fixed quote.
