Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Brize Norton
We cover Brize Norton for kitchen extract cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Stale cooking odours from the system
How it works
Your staff don’t 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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Brize Norton run smoothly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Brize Norton
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and people most often call us about proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Brize Norton? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
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 Brize Norton starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brize Norton
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. It’s simpler to plan the work at Brize Norton now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Brize Norton: the local picture
There are about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops in Brize Norton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Kitchens in Brize Norton get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Brize Norton is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Minster Lovell Hall, about 2.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Brize Norton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Britius or elsewhere in Brize Norton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Landmarks near Brize Norton
Around Brize Norton, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Chequers pub and Carterton Community College, among other places. Nearby you’ll also find Cogges Manor Farm Museum (4 miles east) and Bronze Age Bowl Barrow (2.3 miles south-west).
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Brize Norton
Which fire authority looks after Brize Norton?
That is 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.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brize Norton?
In Brize Norton, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Brize Norton, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
When to call us in Brize Norton
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Brize Norton, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Look out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Brize Norton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
