Kitchen duct cleaning in Begbroke
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Most calls from Begbroke 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.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Begbroke goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Begbroke starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Leave it or put it right?
If your kitchen in Begbroke is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Planning a trip to Begbroke ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
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.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Begbroke
Will you come out to Begbroke?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Begbroke included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Begbroke during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Begbroke. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Begbroke
Look up Begbroke on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways in Begbroke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Begbroke sits within the area of 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. Kitchens in Begbroke get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like William Fletcher Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 2.2 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Acland Hospital (about 4.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
