- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bradwell.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Bradwell
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and rancid smells from grease in the duct. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Bradwell, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
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.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bradwell
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bradwell and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
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. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and certificates.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Bradwell: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Bradwell are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. 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 Bradwell is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Burford School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Bradwell, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Bradwell
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bradwell?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bradwell. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Bradwell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
