How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Brighthampton
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We are often asked to deal with missing paperwork after a change of operator and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Brighthampton? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Brighthampton: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Brighthampton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Brighthampton
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Brighthampton?
Fire safety enforcement in Brighthampton is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in Brighthampton?
Food hygiene inspections in Brighthampton are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Brighthampton?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Historic houses near Brighthampton, such as Longworth House about 2.5 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether a written report and photos are included
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Brighthampton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Brighthampton kitchens: local notes
Look up Brighthampton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brighthampton. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Brighthampton sits within the area of 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. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brighthampton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near St Giles' Church, or anywhere in Brighthampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mulberry Bush School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
