Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Chadlington
Across Chadlington, 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. If you’re dealing with grease drips onto cooking equipment and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can help, from discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs onwards. Most calls from Chadlington come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Chadlington goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Chadlington 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Chadlington
Can the work in Chadlington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can a school canteen extract in Chadlington be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Chadlington. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Chadlington, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Why act early in Chadlington
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s simpler to plan the work at Chadlington now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Grease, kitchens and Chadlington
In Chadlington, 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. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Chadlington. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Chadlington Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Landmarks near Chadlington

When to call us in Chadlington
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Chadlington, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Chadlington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
