TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ascott Earl
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Ascott Earl, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right, from discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs onwards. Kitchens in Ascott Earl book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
A clean in Ascott Earl covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Ascott Earl starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ascott Earl.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
When to call us in Ascott Earl
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
What we are most often called out for:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
If you run a café or takeaway near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the baffle filters clean
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Ascott Earl: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Ascott Earl?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ascott Earl included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ascott Earl?
Ascott Earl is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

Ascott Earl kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Ascott Earl get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Ascott Earl is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
