- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Bampton
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We are often asked to deal with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Bampton covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Bampton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Bampton, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
Part by part
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
FAQs for Bampton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bampton?
That’s West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bampton. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bampton?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What a clean won’t put right
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a place like Bampton are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Bampton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in Bampton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bampton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Bampton is 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.
A hospital like Longworth Hospital, about 5.1 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Bampton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Longworth House is about 4.8 miles south-east), access may need planning.
