Kitchen extract cleaning in Blenheim, done properly
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about rancid smells from grease in the duct and poor airflow at the canopy. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a kitchen in or near Blenheim, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
FAQs for Blenheim
Do you work at weekends in Blenheim?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Blenheim doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Blenheim?
That is South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Blenheim. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Blenheim?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you cover Blenheim?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Blenheim.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Blenheim?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
A hospital like NHS Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, about 2.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Blenheim
The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Blenheim. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Blenheim. 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. The fire and rescue service for Blenheim is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Blenheim, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Garsington Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Blenheim, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

- 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.
- 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.

Advice
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why act early in Blenheim
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Blenheim rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
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 we start.
