Part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Broughton
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. If you’re dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Broughton covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Broughton: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Broughton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

When to call us in Broughton
In Broughton, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Broughton Castle, about 0.3 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Broughton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What else we do in Broughton
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Broughton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broughton
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What affects the quote in Broughton
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Common questions in Broughton
Do you work in villages like Broughton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Broughton?
Food hygiene inspections in Broughton are carried out by Cherwell council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
How long will the clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Kitchen extracts in Broughton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Broughton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. In Broughton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Broughton is covered by 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Horton General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Broughton, about 2.2 miles east.

What’s near Broughton

The closest station to Broughton is Banbury station, roughly 2.7 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Bloxham Village Museum (1.8 miles south) and Castle Quay Shopping Centre (2.6 miles north-east).

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
