What the work involves, part by part
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.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Buscot
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Buscot, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with rancid smells from grease in the duct and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right, from extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Buscot start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Buscot starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Buscot: the local picture
It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Buscot. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Buscot. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hospital like Faringdon Day Hospital, about 3.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Buscot (Buscot Park is about 1 mile south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Buscot is about 7 miles south-west of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. Every kind of commercial site in Buscot, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Buscot is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. You can also see our page for Oxford, roughly 19 miles from Buscot.
We cover every part of SN7 for kitchen extract cleaning and the streets around it. Neighbouring places we cover for kitchen extract cleaning include Great Coxwell (4 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Witney (11 miles north-east), Carterton (7 miles north-east), Wantage (12 miles south-east), Grove (12 miles south-east), Faringdon (4 miles south-east) and Charlton (12 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Buscot
A little further out are Radcot Castle (3.7 miles east) and Faringdon Museum (4 miles east). For a walk, there’s Badbury Hill.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere as small as Buscot, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

When to call us in Buscot
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Where a hall near The Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Buscot, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Buscot and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Buscot: your questions answered
Is Buscot within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Buscot included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Buscot?
Food hygiene inspections in Buscot are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
