About our kitchen extract cleaning in Caversfield
Across Caversfield, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. We’re often asked to deal with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters. When a restaurant in Caversfield asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Caversfield: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Caversfield 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?

- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
What we are called out for in Caversfield
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
A hospital like Bicester Community Hospital, about 1.8 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What else we do in Caversfield
Why act early in Caversfield
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Somewhere as small as Caversfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Caversfield
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Caversfield. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Caversfield is covered by 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. Kitchens in Caversfield get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Southwold County Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Caversfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What’s near Caversfield

A little further out are Ardley Castle (3.4 miles north-west) and Bicester Community Hospital (1.8 miles south). Not far away are Graven Hill.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
