How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Black Bourton
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Black Bourton, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Black Bourton covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Black Bourton
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Black Bourton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Black Bourton
Look up Black Bourton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Black Bourton, up to about a mile and a half out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Black Bourton is covered by 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. Kitchens in Black Bourton get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Longworth Hospital, about 5.4 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as St Peter's Church of England School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Black Bourton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

Common questions in Black Bourton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Black Bourton?
Kitchens in Black Bourton are inspected by West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you get to a site in Black Bourton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Black Bourton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A planned visit to Black Bourton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
