Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Blewbury
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. We are often asked to deal with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, across discharge points, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Blewbury 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 we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a village or hamlet like Blewbury, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Blewbury
About 49 miles out from central London, Blewbury is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Blewbury get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Blewbury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 4.1 miles north-east), access may need planning.

What the work involves, part by part
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.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Blewbury, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Blewbury questions
Do you work in villages like Blewbury?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Blewbury included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Blewbury?
The local authority for Blewbury is Vale of White Horse council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Blewbury
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A fault that closes a site in a village like Blewbury affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
