Kitchen extract cleaning in Cassington
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 Cassington give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Cassington, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a small place like Cassington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Cassington?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Radcliffe Infirmary is the nearest hospital to Cassington, about 4.1 miles south-east.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem 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.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Cassington
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods

- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
Why it’s worth doing now in Cassington
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Kitchen extracts in Cassington
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Cassington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Fire safety in Cassington falls to 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. In Cassington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 3.4 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Cassington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Cassington, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system

Cassington: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Cassington?
Cassington is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which environmental health team covers Cassington?
Food hygiene inspections in Cassington 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.
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.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
When do you clean the extract?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
