How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Carterton
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Carterton give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you are dealing with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can put it right. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Carterton it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Around a town like Carterton, extract cleaning typically means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Carterton
Can a school canteen extract in Carterton be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 13 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Carterton. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in Carterton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
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. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In Carterton, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Carterton
In Carterton, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Where a hall near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Carterton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Carterton kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Carterton, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Carterton is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Carterton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Carterton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Carterton (Minster Lovell Hall is about 3.5 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
