What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Britwell Salome
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. We are often asked to deal with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease drips onto cooking equipment, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and extract fans. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Britwell Salome start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Work in a small place like Britwell Salome starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Kitchen extracts in Britwell Salome
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Britwell Salome. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. The fire and rescue service for Britwell Salome is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Britwell Salome. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Adwell House is about 4.3 miles north-east), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Icknield Community College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common questions in Britwell Salome
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Britwell Salome?
The local authority for Britwell Salome is South Oxfordshire 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.
Do you work overnight in Britwell Salome?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Britwell Salome does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
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.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere like Britwell Salome, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Britwell Salome
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Britwell Salome, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in Britwell Salome is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
