TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ascott-under-Wychwood
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Ascott-under-Wychwood, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Most calls from Ascott-under-Wychwood come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Ascott-under-Wychwood, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
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.
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. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ascott-under-Wychwood
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Why act early in Ascott-under-Wychwood
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. If the system at a site near Ascott-under-Wychwood fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Ascott-under-Wychwood knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ascott-under-Wychwood?

Do you look at the system first?

Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Ascott-under-Wychwood
Fire safety in Ascott-under-Wychwood 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. Food hygiene inspections in Ascott-under-Wychwood are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
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. Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Ascott-under-Wychwood, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Minster Lovell Hall is about 4.8 miles south), access may need planning.
